Nests at over 3,000m in the New Guinea highlands, the highest-altitude lorikeet on Earth. Brightly colored.
- Populasi
- Not numerically quantified; described as "fairly common throughout its range" with a stable population trend, Extent of Occurrence ~10,900 km²
- Habitat
- Subtropical/tropical moist montane forest at higher elevations in New Guinea's central mountain ranges -- roughly 1,300-3,600 m and 1,500-3,500 m. Shows medium forest dependency (~1.4% tree-cover loss across its mapped range over three generations).
- Fakta menarik
- The Papuan Lorikeet (West Papuan lorikeet) occurs in two distinct color morphs -- a typical red-and-green plumage and a rarer all-black melanistic morph -- and adults of both morphs grow two strikingly elongated, yellow-tipped central tail streamers.
- Sebaran
- Endemic to New Guinea; under current taxonomy, Charmosyna papou is restricted to Indonesian (western) New Guinea -- the Vogelkop Peninsula and central highlands. Eastern-highland populations formerly treated as subspecies of this bird (stellae, wahnesi, goliathina) were split off as the separate species Stella's Lorikeet (Charmosyna stellae).
