It is all most peculiar. I don't understand why, if there is an odd Fig-Parrot
there (which there could be) it is not just ascribed to an unusual colour
variant of Coxen's Fig-Parrot (of the sort that happens occasionally in many
species). I don't see the need to suggest a hitherto unnamed sub species or
species. That is a long bow to raise. I also don't buy the competitive
exclusion principle argument either. There are lots of other sets of sympatric
species, such as lorikeets, fruit pigeons etc. The competitive exclusion
principle is an idea that is an interesting concept upon which to do biological
investigation. It is not a fundamental rule of life.
