As you all know we really love parrots and we really love Biak. So what could be better than a Biak parrot today?
Geelvink Pygmy Parrot – Micropsitta geelvinkiana misoriensis
When you google this species Mehd’s pictures are always at the top. It took some time to learn their behaviour and to spot them.
Mehd shot this amazing video in 2013 when he went to Numfor with Australian friends.
How many parrots can you see?
I know this video has been upploaded both to our Facebook and to World Parrot Trust’s Facebook before, but it’s worth it’s own blog as well.
After all it is Saturday in most parts of the world right now, so why not enjoy some eye candy? The beautiful Biak Paradise Kingfisher. He always deliver for us and we have not been to Biak once without meeting him. And that despite the continuing logging that’s going on in the world and Biak is by no means an exception.
Happy weekend to you all!
