Simeulue Parrot

Psittinus abbotti

The Simeulue parrot is a parrot endemic to two small islands off Sumatra. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the blue-rumped parrot, but is split by the HBW/BirdLife checklist, with the IOC later following suit, supporting its status as a distinct species.
