Madarasz's Tiger Parrot is a striking parrot species endemic to the highlands of New Guinea. It is characterized by its green plumage with distinct barring on its back, giving it a 'tiger' pattern, and often a red crown in males.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests at high altitudes across the central highlands of New Guinea.
How to spot
Look for its green body with barred patterns on the back and, in males, a red crown. Listen for its high-pitched, sharp calls, which are often given in flight or while feeding in the canopy.
When to spot
Most active during early morning and late afternoon when foraging for seeds, fruits, and nectar. They are resident birds.
