Spotted
The Yellow-breasted Racquet-tail is a rare parrot species endemic to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is characterized by its green plumage, the iconic racquet-tipped tail, and a subtle yellowish wash on the breast.
Where to spot
Restricted to fragmented patches of humid lowland rainforests on the island of Mindanao, Philippines, often in primary forest.
How to spot
Identification is difficult, requiring keen observation for its racquet-tail and a subtle yellowish tinge on its otherwise green plumage. Listen for its calls, which are similar to other racquet-tails but may be infrequent.
When to spot
Observation opportunities are rare due to its elusiveness and low population numbers. Like most parrots, activity is higher in the early morning and late afternoon.
