The pink-billed parrot finch (Erythrura kleinschmidti) occurs on Viti Levu island, Fiji. Its habitat is defined as rain-forest at both high and low altitudes. Generally rare, it is common locally. Although it does take vegetable food, insects appear to make up the bulk of its diet, and are taken in a variety of ways, some highly specialised. Notes on its nesting are presented.
