While it has yet to be assessed by the IUCN Red List, it is believed that this species is threatened and is declining primarily due to the cagebird trade.

Males and female birds look identical, which is unusual for a hanging parrot native to the Philippines.

Itis differentiated by its blue face, red crown, longer tail and lack of sexual dimorphism.

[2][3] Diet consists of nectar, seeds, wild bananas of the Musa genus, soft fruit, berries and flowers.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature has not yet recognised this species as separate and thus has not yet assessed the Camiguin hanging parrot.
