| Name | Loriculus philippensis philippensis, Philippine hanging parrot, colasissi |
| Distribution | This race of the Philippine endemic is found in Luzon, Catanduanes, Marinduque, Banton and Polillo |
| Habitat | Forest |
| Remarks | The smallest parrot in the Philippines is uncommon on Polillo, although it is probably one of the most common birds kept as a pet. This species is not merely a forest resident but will also colonise city gardens (Kennedy et al 2000). It was only recorded from two formal study sites on Polillo and in a forest patch near Sibulan watershed reserve. Discussions suggest the species is far more wide-spread than these records suggest, though hunting for the pet trade is a cause for concern. |
