Blue-naped Parrot

It is illegal to hunt, capture or possess Blue-naped parrots under Philippine Law RA 9147. This is a medium size parrot, around 31 cm (12 in) in length, primarily green except for a light blue rear crown and nape, pale blue lower back and rump, scalloped shoulders with orange-brown on black coverts, and blackish underwings with green underwing coverts. He used the French name Le perroquet de l'Isle de Luçon and the Latin name Psittacus lucionensis. (Wikipedia, general species account).

In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the blue-naped parrot in his Ornithologie based on a specimen collected on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The last subspecies, T. l . talautensis, is native to the Visayas and Mindanao island groups of the Philippines, with a range extending to the Talaud Islands of Indonesia. Its recorded distribution includes secondary forest, at forest edges and in plantations at elevations of up to 1000 m. (Wikipedia, general species account).
