Cacatua ducorpsii Pucheran, 1853 View in CoL . Ducorps’s Cockatoo

Common, but in small numbers, at all elevations. Generally seen in groups of 2 or 3 individuals. Identifi- cation: Distinct.

Micropsitta finschii (EP Ramsay, 1881) . Finsch’s Pygmy-Parrot

One individual was observed in flight. Identification: Very small size and stout structure, typical of pygmyparrots, and no long tail was noted which eliminated Meek’s Lorikeet. As it flew, the bird gave a high pitch, buzzy call. Calls from xeno-canto were referenced for identification purposes, and they matched the high buzzy pitch given by the bird.
