The Papuan Parrotfinch is a beautiful, mainly green finch with a red face and rump, found in the highlands of New Guinea. It is a shy and elusive forest inhabitant.
Where to spot
Endemic to the highlands of New Guinea, inhabiting montane rainforests and forest edges, typically at elevations above 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Requires patience, as they are often inconspicuous. Look in the canopy and sub-canopy for movement, especially near fruiting or seeding trees. Listening for calls can help.
When to spot
Year-round, but best observed during the breeding season when they might be more visible near nests or foraging for young.
