The Amboina King Parrot is a strikingly colored parrot native to New Guinea and surrounding islands. Known for its predominantly red and green plumage, it adds a vibrant splash to the tropical forests it inhabits.
Where to spot
Found in lowland rainforests, forest edges, and cultivated areas across New Guinea, the Maluku Islands (Indonesia), and some adjacent smaller islands.
How to spot
Look for pairs or small groups in the canopy of tall trees. Listen for their sharp, squeaky calls, which often betray their presence before they are seen. They can be shy and remain well-hidden by foliage.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon hours as they forage for seeds, fruits, and flowers. They are usually resident year-round within their range.

Unlike many parrot species where males and females have distinctly different plumages, the Amboina King Parrot exhibits very little sexual dimorphism, making it challenging to tell the sexes apart visually.
