Fig parrots are one of the smallest in the parrot family. Fig Parrots can be found in New Guinea and Australia on fruit bearing trees. They are very energetic and active and can be seen fluttering about. They are smaller than budgies. They're social creatures and don't do well alone. Fig parrots don't make good pets for they can't be tamed. Even the slightest gesture can scare them. They were named after their favorite food: fig. Male and female Fig parrots start off looking the same. However, after two years, male fig Parrots begin to color out on the head and bib and that's when they're ready for breeding. Due to deforestation for farming, fig parrots are listed as being rare in Australia's wet tropic regions.

Fig parrots have a high metabolism rate and tend to eat a lot. Figs are a major part of their diet. Besides that, their diet is pretty much similar to an Australian Lorikeet's diet.
