The
Eclectus Parrot inhabits the tropical rain forests and mangrove zones
of the Australian Cape York Peninsula. During the day, the social birds
gather in small groups to search for fruits and seeds. But with the
sunset they form large flocks to spend the night together. What is very
special about this parrot species is the extreme difference in color of
the genders. While the male has a predominantly bright green plumage,
the femaleās feathers are deep red and dark blue. |
