I've heard they can be found in remnants of forest up here, but I haven't seen them. The parrots I see every day are nectar-eating lorikeets. I don't know much about their predators, but I did recently observe a treeful of Rainbow Lorikeets <A HREF="http://thewanderling.blogspot.com/2006/05/misty-morning-birds.html" REL="nofollow">quiet down</A> when a goshawk flew by. I expect to encounter a variety of other species (including <I>Eclectus</I>) as I travel to other parts of the country. Stay tuned!

Do you observe Eclectus parrots? I am very interested in Eclectus particularly, but also in other parrots and their raptor (and other) predators in PNG and the Solomon Islands. - including their wild foods and any other information about them.<BR/><BR/>I am enjoying your blog!
