Habitat edit

As a newly separated species, specific information is scarce. It is assumed to be similar to other Trichoglossus parakeets in preferring lowland forest including secondary growth and plantations.[1]

Threats edit

On Biak, forest is under heavy pressure from logging and subsistence farming. Trapping for trade does occur, but how much that affects the species is uncertain. Its population is believed to be decreasing, with fewer than 10,000 mature individuals in the wild.[1]
