Spotted
The Dusky-faced Fig Parrot is a small, colorful parrot species endemic to New Guinea. It is characterized by its bright green body and a distinctive dusky or bluish-grey face, often with red markings in males.
Where to spot
Found in lowland rainforests, forest edges, and cultivated areas across New Guinea.
How to spot
Look for its small size, green plumage, and the unique dusky or bluish-grey face, with males showing some red. Listen for its high-pitched, squeaky calls that are often difficult to locate in the dense canopy.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often observed in pairs or small groups quietly foraging in fruiting trees. Best seen in early morning and late afternoon.
These parrots are often found in mixed-species foraging flocks, particularly during times of abundant fruit, taking advantage of communal feeding benefits.
