Edwards's Fig Parrot - Psittaculirostris edwardsii
Psittacule d'Edwards
A lively species which comes from the humid lowland forest of New Guinea. Although it also feeds on other foods, it specialises in eating figs, as its name implies. Therefore figs are included in the diet of the birds kept in the LPF breeding centre, where they breed successfully.
C'est une espèce pleine de vitalité qui vient des basses forêts humides de Nouvelle Guinée. Bien qu'elle se nourrisse d'autre chose, elle apprécie de consommer des figues, comme l'indique son nom. Donc, les figues sont comprises dans le régime de cet oiseau conservé au centre de reproduction de la LPF où il se reproduit avec succès.
