Where to spot
Found in primary and secondary lowland forests, montane forests, and occasionally forest edges on Mindanao, Philippines.
How to spot
Locate by its unique racquet-tipped tail, which is particularly noticeable when it flies. Listen for its harsh, screeching calls that distinguish it from other parrots in its habitat.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen flying between trees or foraging. Best observed during cooler periods of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon.
