While we were looking for the Double-eyed Fig-Parrot (1st pic) we spotted the Australasian Figbird (2nd pic). Our guide said "never mind that bird, look for the Fig-Parrot." But they were all exciting to us. Later on our own we went back and found the Figbird. #Australia 🪶
Colorful Fig-Parrot with a mouth full of fig. Figbird in a tree. It has a yellow front, dark brown head and a patch of red textured skin around its eye.

Australasian Figbird
Figs are a popular part of their diet also soft fruits & berries in the canopy. Insects too.
Male has bare red skin around the eye. Females look completely different
