The Painted Tiger Parrot is a small, vibrant parrot species endemic to the montane regions of New Guinea. It is known for its intricate plumage patterns that give it a 'tiger-like' appearance, especially on the back.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and cloud forests at high altitudes across the New Guinea highlands.
How to spot
Look for its small size and intricately patterned plumage, which is often hard to discern in the dense canopy. Listen for its high-pitched, soft calls, which are less harsh than those of many other parrots.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen feeding in the canopy or flying rapidly between trees. Most visible in the early morning and late afternoon.

This parrot's cryptic plumage, featuring barred patterns of green, red, and yellow, allows it to blend seamlessly with the mossy, orchid-laden branches of its cloud forest habitat.
