Cyclopsitta

Cyclopsitta is a genus of parrot in the Psittaculidae family. It contains two species:

  • Orange-breasted fig parrot (Cyclopsitta gulielmitertii)
  • Double-eyed fig parrot (Cyclopsitta diophthalma)

The genus name Cyclopsitta is a combination of the Greek name of the mythical Cyclops (a race of one-eyed Sicilian giants, whose name is a combination of the Greek word kuklos, meaning "circle" and ōps, meaning "eye"), and the modern Latin psitta, meaning "parrot".
