The blue-crowned racket-tail (''Prioniturus discurus'') is a parrot found on all the larger islands of the Philippines not starting with "P" (i.e., not Palawan or Panay). It is 27 cm, basically green with a blue crown, bluish undertail, whitish beak, and dark underwings with green coverts. The blue-headed racket-tail (''P. platenae'') was formerly included in this species. ==Taxonomy== There are three subspecies: * P. d. ''discurus'': Jolo, Mindanao, Olutanga, Basilan, Guimaras, Luzon. * P. d. ''whiteheadi'': Negros, Bohol, Samar, Leyte, Masbate, Cebu. Less blue on crown. * P. d. ''nesophilus'': Tablas, Sibuyan, Catanduanes. Still less blue. May be part of P.d. ''whiteheadi''. It inhabits humid forests, mangroves, and cultivated areas up to 1750m. Small flocks of 5-12, but more gather at fruit trees. Eats fruit, berries, nuts and seeds. Widespread but threatened by habitat destruction and trapping. 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-crowned racket-tail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
