Philippine hanging parrot
The Philippine hanging parrot (''Loriculus philippensis'') is also widely known as the colasisi〔Kennedy, R.S., Gonzales P.C., Dickinson E.C., Miranda, Jr, H.C., Fisher T.H. (2000) ''A Guide to the Birds of the Philippines'', Oxford University Press, Oxford.〕 taken from its local Tagalog name, "kulasisi". It is a small parrot species of the Psittaculidae family. It includes about eleven subspecies, which are all native to only the Philippines; however, the exact taxonomy is unclear, and at least one of the subspecies might become split off and become a separate species if further research provides clarification.
They are mainly green with areas of red, orange, yellow, and blue varying between subspecies. Only the males have a red area on their fronts, except for the population living on Camiguin, where neither male nor female have this red area. They make nests in tree holes and, unusually for a parrot, the female takes nesting material back to the nest.
==Description==
Philippine hanging parrots are about long, weigh 32–40 g, and have a short rounded tail.〔 They are mainly green with areas of red, orange, yellow, and blue varying between subspecies.〔 The forehead is red and the irises are dark brown.〔 Adults have red beaks and orange legs except for ''Loriculus (philippensis) bonapartei'' which have black beaks and grey legs.〔 They are sexually dimorphic with only the males having red on their chin or upper chest,〔 except for the ''Loriculus (philippensis) camiguinensis'' in which neither the male or female has a red bib or chest.〔 Juveniles have less red on their heads and paler beaks, but otherwise resemble the female.〔〔
