A green parrot with a distinctive pale blue nape patch, listed as Near-threatened due to trapping pressure for the cage-bird trade and habitat loss across its range.
Feeds on fruit and seeds in forest canopy and cultivated land, typically moving in pairs or small flocks, with wild populations increasingly fragmented by illegal capture.
