Why it matters
Finsch’s Pygmy-Parrot is one of the smallest parrot species in the world, notable for the specialized stiffened feathers on its tail that act as a prop when the bird climbs tree trunks. Endemic to the islands of the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands, these birds are rarely seen due to their size and habit of camouflaging against lichen-covered bark.
