Description and taxonomy.
It is 14 cm long. The front of the crown of the black-billed hanging parrot is red, turning to orange and yellow on the back of the crown. The tail is green above and blue below. Most of its feathers are bright green, its bill is black and its irises are brown.
It was previous conspecific with the Philippine hanging parrot but was split based on its morphological differences from its black or dark red bill and duller gray legs
This species is monotypic and has no subspecies.
Diet is not well known but pressumed to be the same as Philippine hanging parrot which feeds on flowers, bananas and figs. 
Habitat and conservation status.
It is found in tropical moist lowland forest, forest edge, bushy areas, coconut plantations and bamboo clusters. 
IUCN has yet to assess this bird but .Jolo and Sanga-Sanga are almost completely deforested with the remaining forests in Tawi-Tawi being converted into palm oil and rubber plantations. Like the Philippine hanging parrot, it is often caught for the illegal wildlife trade, with escapees recorded outside of its range in Zamboanga City.
