I was out testing my new Nitecore E41 flashlight in the night when I noticed something hanging from under a frond of our coconut tree like a bat-except it was a very bright green color. Was very surprised to recognize a solitary Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot. One of the smallest species of parrot (13 cm). Not commonly seen as often at treetop height and tiny. Strangely the only other time I have seen this species in Singapore was also in my house about 20 years ago.
