Names: Double-eyed Fig Parrot, Blue-faced Fig Parrot, Red-faced Fig Parrot, Dwarf Fig Parrot, Two-eyed Fig Parrot Scientific name: Cyclopsitta diophthalma Conservation status: Least Concern Info: The Double-eyed Fig Parrot generally forages for figs, berries, seeds, nectar, and the grubs of wood-boring insects. This foraging is done in pairs or in a flock of only a few individuals. It tends to fly in a quick and direct manner. It produces a short and shrill call.Double-eyed fig parrots utter high-pitched, clipped, two or three note zzzt-zzzt or zeet-zeet calls, unlike the rolling or trilling screeches typical of lorikeets. These calls are mostly made in flight, but sometimes when perched. When engrossed in feeding, it may also make a variety of softer, chattering noises. Unlike many other parrots which generally use existing holes in trees for nests, double-eyed fig parrots excavate their own nest cavities, usually in a rotten tree. There are eight subspecies: -Cyclopsitta diophthalma diophthalma -Cyclopsitta diophthalma coccineifrons -Cyclopsitta diophthalma aruensis -Cyclopsitta diophthalma virago -Cyclopsitta diophthalma inseparabilis -Cyclopsitta diophthalma marshalli -Cyclopsitta diophthalma macleayana -Cyclopsitta diophthalma coxeni
