Blue-naped Parrot, Kota Kinabalu Beach, Borneo

Medium-sized parrot with a huge candy-red bill. Bright green overall, with eye-catching blue-and-yellow edgings on the wing feathers. Namesake sky-blue patch, which extends from the upper nape to the back of the crown. Inhabits lowland and foothill forests and other wooded areas, often on small offshore islands. Forages in flocks, screeching loudly to one another to stay in contact.
