4 sections

The Double-eyed Fig Parrot is Australia’s smallest parrot, measuring about 14 cm in length, with a compact, very short tail, and a disproportionately large head and bill. This vibrant parrot is found in isolated rainforest communities along the tropical east coast of Australia, from far north Queensland to northeastern New South Wales, as well as in New Guinea and nearby islands.
