The Flores hanging parrot (Loriculus flosculus) is a small, colorful parrot species native to the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia. These parrots are known for their vibrant plumage, with a predominantly green body, red throat, and blue crown. They are typically found in forested areas, including both primary and secondary forests, as well as wooded habitats near human settlements. Flores hanging parrots primarily feed on fruits, seeds, and blossoms, and are often observed in small flocks. Due to habitat loss and potential trapping for the pet trade, the conservation status of the Flores hanging parrot is currently classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN.
