Eclectus Parrot is a stocky, medium-size bird with bright, glossy green feathers highlighted with red flashes on its sides and underneath its wings. The female is slightly smaller and has a bright red head, throat, and wings, which contrast with her brilliant blue chest and purple under-wings.
The bird is noisy, but sociable and gathers in large flocks. Nest is usually a hole high up in a tall tree trunk. It feeds on a wide range of buds, blossoms, seeds, nuts, berries, fruit and nectar.
