the red-breasted pygmy parrot is a small parrot species endemic to the maluku islands and melanesia. this species is found at higher elevations than most other pygmy parrots; due to their differing habitat, they build nests in trees, while other pygmy parrots often build in preexisting arboreal termite nests. they are fast-moving and inquisitive birds who forage along trees in a manner reminiscent of nuthatches, seeking lichens, which make up the majority of their diet. only 8cm (3 in) in length, these parrots are occasionally predated on by larger species. they are sexually dimorphic, with males showing a green back, red belly and peachy throat while females are primarily green, sporting a blue crown and white face. it has been difficult to study these parrots in captivity, as they often do not thrive.
