These birds are sexually dimorphic. The male of the species has an orange breast patch and yellow cheeks, while the female has a pale blue breast patch and greenish-yellow cheeks. The juveniles of the species all resemble females until adult plumage begins to grow in.
Diet
Salvadori's fig parrot is a frugivore; the diet consists mainly of figs and other fruit.
gollark: All tools above some minimum standard technically *work*. Lots are *very bad*.
gollark: But they have varying expressiveness, to the point that unless you're one of a few weird people you have to implement an interpreter to get any work done (e.g. BF).
gollark: Sure, most common languages are Turing-complete and can *technically* do any task you want (ignoring IO).
gollark: I don't like the "a good craftsman does not blame tools" thing applied to programming.
gollark: I heard about someone using *Python 2* for workoidal purposes.
