Serindit

Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot - Serindit
(Loriculus galgulus)











My late grandfather used to keep the serindit as a pet. He reared it in a rolling cage. The serindit will walk the wall and the cage will roll at the axis. I remembered the beak was yellow in colour ~ maybe a juvenile species.









All this picture shows the female species.
The male's colour is more striking, with red on the throat and blue on the head
