The Blue-naped
Parrot is also sometimes called the Blue-crowned Green Parrot
leading to confusion with the Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot and
Blue-crowned Conure/Parakeet.
It comes from the Philippines and is also sometimes called the Luzon
Parrot although it occurs on other islands as well as Luzon.
Unlike its larger cousin, the Blue-backed Parrot, Blue-naped males
and females both have red bills. |

The Great-billed
Parrot is also called the Moluccan Parrot which is misleading since
many parrots come from the Moluccan Islands and the Great-billed
inhabits several Indonesian islands.
The Great-billed is the largest of the "Tanygnathus"
parrot species shown on this website (the semi-nocturnal Black-lored, "Tanygnathus
gramineus" is a little larger).
Males and females have similar plumage and both have large
red bills. |
