The Loriinae are a clade of smaller parrots widespread in Australasia and united primarily by molecular phylogenetic analyses, as well as features of the hyoid morphology. Members include the fig parrots of the tribe Cyclopsittini, small short-tailed parrots found in rainforest canopy in New Guinea and north-eastern Australia. Fig parrots share a distinctive morphology of the hypotarsus, with the canals for the deep flexor tendons fused, and the superficial tendons situated in a nearly closed, deep sulcus. The budgerigar Melopsittacus undulatus is a small green and yellow parrot native to arid regions of Australia that has become widely kept as a cage bird.
