Blue-naped Parrot

Tanygnathus everetti

The Blue-naped Parrot, scientifically known as Tanygnathus everetti, is a medium-sized parrot native to the Philippines. It is characterized by its predominantly green plumage, with a distinctive blue patch on the nape, and red coloring on the wings. These intelligent and social birds are often found in forests and wooded areas, where they forage for fruits, seeds, and nuts. They are known for their playful and sociable nature, often forming large flocks. The Blue-naped Parrot is facing threats from habitat loss and illegal trapping for the pet trade, leading to a decline in its population. Conservation efforts are being made to protect this species and its habitat.
