Spotted
The Double-eyed Fig Parrot is the smallest parrot species in Australia and New Guinea, named for the distinctive colored 'eyebrows' and 'lores' that give the impression of having two eyes. It is predominantly green.
Where to spot
Found in lowland rainforests, forest edges, and sometimes cultivated areas in northeastern Queensland, Australia, and New Guinea.
How to spot
Look for its extremely small size, overall green plumage, and the distinctive colored markings around its eyes and lores. Listen for its soft, high-pitched calls and chattering while feeding.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen in pairs or small groups foraging quietly in fruiting trees. Most visible in early morning and late afternoon.

This tiny parrot is remarkably agile, able to climb quickly through dense foliage and even hang upside down to access ripe figs and other fruits, using its strong bill and feet.
