p.1 #1 · Birds of India - Vernal Hanging Parrot — Tiny Acrobat of the Tropics - Part 1
Meet the Vernal Hanging Parrot, a little green gem that loves to sleep upside down! 🦜
They’re barely 5 inches long but full of character — zipping through treetops, sipping nectar, and blending perfectly with leaves.
They carry bits of flowers under their feathers to build their nests (how cute is that?) and their quiet flutter makes them easy to miss unless you know their soft chirps.
Small, shy, and spring-loving — these parrots prove that sometimes the tiniest birds have the biggest charm. 💚
All pictures taken in farm fields near Pune, India

Very nice set!
As a bird guy I really enjoyed your description and photos of these unique little fellas'. I really like how they go from a plain green parrot to a colorful morph with the blue and red when they raise their wings also. I've had kept birds that could strip a sprig of millet similar to the plant your Vernal landed on in no time flat. It's like their ganja, .
