The blue-collared parrot (''Geoffroyus simplex'') also known as simple parrot, lilac-collared song parrot, or lilac-collared Geoffroy's parrot, is a parrot found in the higher elevations of New Guinea. It is found from 500-2300m, mainly between 800-1900m (though food shortages will send them lower). It is 23–25 cm, mainly green with a black beak, yellow wing bend, blue underwing coverts, and a pale yellow iris. Adult males have a blue collar across upper breast to lower neck above the mantle, adult females have some blue on the rear crown. Juveniles have no blue and a paler bill. There are two subspecies: * G. s. ''simplex'': On Vogelkop. 23 cm * G. s. ''buergersi'': On rest of island. 25 cm, collar on males is duller but wider in back. It inhabits humid hill forest and forest edges. Flocks are up to 200. ==References== *Juniper & Parr (1998) ''Parrots: A Guide to Parrots of the World''; ISBN 0-300-07453-0. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blue-collared parrot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
