Cebu Hanging-parrot

Cebu Hanging-parrot

The Cebu Hanging-parrot is a hanging parrot found only in Cebu. Many believed that the species was extinct, but an expedition led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Cebu) has claimed to have seen and captured a tiny bird in thick foliage in the remote part of central Cebu. The bird has a distinctive scarlet tail with faint patches of red on its head. The bird measures 5.5 inches long with a wingspan of 7 inches.
