Mindoro Racket-tail (Prioniturus mindorensis)
About the Mindoro Racket-tail
The Mindoro racket-tail (Prioniturus mindorensis) is a species of parrot in the Psittaculinae family. It was formerly considered conspecific with the blue-crowned racket-tail (Prioniturus discurus). It is endemic to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines and it occurs in tropical moist lowland forest. It is threatened by habitat loss and trapping for the cage-bird trade. Females have shorter "rackets". It is differentiated from the Blue-crowned racket-tail with by its crown, the Mindoro racket-tail has a bluer hindcrown and an even darker hindcrown versus the more uniform color the latter. It also has a more matte green face. Its tail is also slightly longer. This split was reinforced by genetic findings.
