The taxonomy of this population of parrots on Camiguin is uncertain. DescriptionThe Camiguin hanging parrot is mostly green with blue throat, face and thighs, and a red tail and red crown. Males and female birds look identical, which is unusual for a hanging parrot native to the Philippines. Only the males of all the other populations living on other islands have a red area on their fronts. TaxonomyIn 2006, the hanging parrots living on the island of Camiguin, off the northern coast of Mindanao, were described as a separate species than the Philippine hanging parrot (Loriculus philippensis). However, more research and DNA analysis is required to clarify their taxonomy.[1][2] ==References== 1. ^BirdLife International 2008. {{IUCNlink|142551|Loriculus philippensis}}. 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140627000000/http://www.iucnredlist.org/ |date=June 27, 2014 }} 2. ^{{cite journal|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070601000000*/http://www.orientalbirdclub.org/publications/ba5pdfs/camiguinparrotpdf.pdf |journal=BirdingASIA |title=A new hanging parrot from Camiguin Island, Philippines |pages=55–58 |year=2006 |volume=5 |first=Thomas |last=Arndt }}
