This small arboreal endemic parrot is found in Sinharaja & the wet forests of the mountains.
It remains high in the canopy feeding off small fruits, flowers and buds. I only ever seemed to catch up with these birds in the early morning when it was misty and the light was poor. Sorry for the poor images!
