Description
The Eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) is a parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea, northeaster Australia and Maluku Islands. Among bird populations the female has nondescript colors in order to hide and protect her new hatchlings. The male is brightly plumed to attract a mate. It is unusual in the parrot family for its extreme sexual dimorphism of the colors of the plumage. With the Eclectus parrot, the male has mostly bright emerald green plumage and the female wears mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage.
