Salvadori's Fig-Parrot

The Salvadori's Fig Parrot diet consists mainly of figs and other fruit.

The Salvadori's Fig-Parrot is classified as Vulnerable (VU), considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

The Salvadori's Fig-parrots (Psittaculirostris salvadorii) are endemic to northern Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), Indonesia, where they occur from the eastern shore of Geelvink Bay to the Cyclops Mountains, including the lowland forest up the tributaries of the Mamberamo River. Much of their range is remote and inaccessible. Their numbers have rapidly declined and the reason for that is believed to be habitat destruction due the extensive logging and land clearance, as well as trapping for the pet bird trade. More

However the data are patchy and rather old, and this species may be secure in the large areas of inaccessible forest within its range. More
