What birds are the closest relatives of the fig parrots?

Fig parrots (Cyclopsittini) are a small tribe of Australasian parrots in the family Psittaculidae, made up of five species in two genera (Cyclopsitta and Psittaculirostris). Fig parrots are found on and around the island of New Guinea, within the territories of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and tropical Australia.

The fig parrot group was first proposed in 1891 at family rank, as Cyclopsittacidae, from the type genus Cyclopsitta. This was later downgraded to tribe status and included into the family Psittaculidae.

Molecular phylogenetic studies support a grouping of fig parrots (Cyclopsittini) with the closely related budgerigars (Melopsittacini) and the lories and lorikeets (Loriini) as the subfamily Loriinae. Relationships between the tribes and within the Cyclopsitta and Psittaculirostris remain to be studied in detail.
