Australian King parrot

[King Parrot]

Male Australian King-Parrots are the only Australian parrots with a completely red head. Females are similar to males except that they have a completely green head and breast. Both sexes have a red belly and a green back, with green wings and a long green tail. King parrots are normally encountered in pairs or family groups.

Sorry for the threadromancy, but all the times I've seen King Parrots flying around I never realised the males and females were so different!

Here's a pair that flew in the other day with a half-dozen other red ones - a bunch of lads having a day out, and mum or big sis tagging along :th_wink:

They are beautiful birds. I have a female Australian King. She is pretty quiet and loves to play/forage on the ground.
