Order PSITTACIFORMES
Parrots
This well-known family is poorly represented in Borneo. Further east in New Guinea and Australasia are found the handsome cockatoos and the beautiful loris, fig-parrots and other groups, but all the Bornean members of the family are predominantly green in colour, and only one of them-the Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot-can be described as common.
