Loriculus beryllinus
The Sri Lanka Hanging Parrot is a small, mainly green hanging parrot, only 13 cm long with a short tail. The adult has a red crown and rump. The nape and back have on orange tint. The chin and throat are pale blue. The beak is red and the irises are white.[2] Immature birds lack the orange hue to the back, have a duller rump, and have only a hint of orange on the crown. They have a feint blue throat. They have orange beaks and brown irises.
These birds used to come to a tree right next to our house and feed on the fruits. These were some stills i got from the video camera i used to film these birds.
