A small bird of montane forest and scrub. Feeds on seeding bamboo. Green above with bright red rump and uppertail, pale blue underparts, and a whitish lower belly. Note the pinkish legs and thick black bill. Female is similar to the male but slightly duller. The only bird of a similar size and color in its range is Philippine Hanging-Parrot, which has a hooked red bill. Gives quiet “chink” calls.

Beautiful bird. Nicely shot.

Beautiful bird and looks sharp. A pity it's turned away a bit.

Lovely pose by the bird. Colours in the BG are very strong, so need a bit of desaturation and at the same time, brighten the the bird a bit.
