Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot

Latin Name : Loriculus galgulus

Site Name : Kuala Balai Rd

Photographer : MOORE, Jeremy

Date : 2009-05-31

Notes : The bird catchers climb as high as 30m to suspend a small pulley which they later use to hoist the cages into the canopy. They say that the hanging parrots are a good target as they nest up to three times a year so there always good numbers to be found. Blue-rumped Parrots are also a common target elsewhere in Brunei.
