The Mindoro racket-tail (Prioniturus mindorensis) is a species of parrot in the Psittaculinae family. It was formerly considered conspecific with the blue-crowned racket-tail (Prioniturus discurus). It is endemic to the island of Mindoro[2] in the Philippines and it occurs in tropical moist lowland forest.[1] It is threatened by habitat loss and trapping for the cage-bird trade.
