The Cebu hanging parrot (Loriculus philippensis chrysonotus) is an extinct subspecies of the Philippine hanging parrot found only on the island of Cebu, Philippines. This subspecies was generally believed to be extinct until an expedition led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Cebu) claimed to have seen and captured a tiny bird in thick foliage in the remote part of central Cebu. The bird has a distinctive scarlet tail with faint patches of red on its head. The bird measures 14 cm (5.5 in) long with a wingspan of 18 cm (7 in).
