Why it matters
The Plum-faced Lorikeet, or Oreopsittacus arfaki, is a high-altitude specialist native to the remote, mossy forests of New Guinea. Ornithologists and bird enthusiasts prize this species for its distinctively pointed tail and broad wings, which are specialized adaptations for navigating the dense, misty canopy of its mountainous habitat.
