Buru racket-tail

The Buru racket-tail (Prioniturus mada), is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae.

The adult male has blue upper-parts from the back of its head to mid-back and which extends into the upper surfaces of the forewings.

They are seasonally nomadic birds that travel to where fruiting trees are blooming in the mountains.

The diet of Prioniturus mada mainly consists of wild fruits, seeds, berries, and flowers.

Like most other Indonesian birds, the Buru racket-tail is threatened by habitat destruction due to deforestation to make ways for plantations (especially palm oil), logging, and mining operations.
