A Vernal Hanging Parrot on a tree top

            The only member of the Hanging Parrot / Lorikeet species in India. They are small maybe around 14-15 cms long, have no tail and the beak is pretty small. The birds are often seen around fruiting trees in small groups of 2-3 usually.

The birds are resident birds in the forests we visited and they are found in a small part of South India and Himalayan regions, but common across much of South East Asia. 

We found them on lovely perches in the morning, but on a tall tree on a forest road. They are often seen nearing fruiting trees and there were a couple of wild berry trees nearby that attracted a variety of birds.

Thanks so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
