The Pink-billed Parrotfinch is a rare and elusive finch endemic to the island of Viti Levu in Fiji. It is distinctive for its robust pink bill and green plumage.
Where to spot
Endemic to Viti Levu, Fiji, primarily found in mature primary montane rainforests, particularly where its preferred bamboo food source grows.
How to spot
Requires significant effort and patience. Focus on areas with flowering bamboo. Look for its distinctive large, pink bill and listen for its quiet calls within the forest canopy.
When to spot
Year-round, but challenging to find due to its rarity and preference for dense forest. Best chances are during the bamboo seeding periods.
