The Blue-Crowned Hanging Parrot (Loriculus galgulus) is a small species of mainly green parrots found in forested lowlands from Thailand to Borneo. Adult males have a blue crown, red throat and rump, and a yellow lower back. The blue crown is less noticeable among adult females. They feed on buds, flowers, nectar, seeds, fruits, and occasionally insects.
The Blue-Crowned Hanging Parrot even has its own postage stamp, issued by Singapore Post on June 6, 2007. The two 55¢ stamps on the mail above are from the 2007 Flora and Fauna definitive set. The small 2007B marking at the bottom left of the stamp indicates that they are from the first reprint batch.
