I saw a chrysonotus only once sa may alcoy and it was run over by a truck......i guess it was already too old mao nitugpa sa kalsada.
Sa una naa koy nabuhi nga Chrysonotus johan---- (sorry nakalimot ko sa specie name). Sabaan kaayo to nga klase sa parrot. Iya dughan kay dunay stripe nga yellow or white ba to. I have four birds and found nga ang Crocolandia have a pair also. A certain Fernandez introduced me that bird which I said is similar to mine. Unfortunately for me and fortunate for the birds, they all escape from the cage. I read from a book of Philippine birds and said Chrysonotus is found only in highlands specially in the mountains of Kitanglad of Bukidnon.
