Description

Thank you for viewing my artwork!

Without a doubt, one of the most striking green parrots is the eye-catching male Eclectus. The Eclectus is what's known as a sexually dimorphic species, meaning that one can tell the sex of the bird depending on the colors of its plumage. If you've spotted a large, bright green parrot with a prominent orange beak, chances are that you've seen a male Eclectus in all his glory. If you're interested in adopting one of these gorgeous guys, check with a reputable breeder for advice on acquiring one, as well as information on whether or not an Eclectus parrot would be a good fit for your lifestyle.

The eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) is a parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas). It is unusual in the parrot family for its extreme sexual dimorphism of the colours of the plumage; the male having a mostly bright emerald green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage. Joseph Forshaw, in his book Parrots of the World, noted that the first European ornithologists to see eclectus parrots thought they were of two distinct species. Large populations of this parrot remain, and they are sometimes considered pests for eating fruit off trees. Some populations restricted to relatively small islands are comparably rare. Their bright feathers are also used by native tribes people in New Guinea as decorations.
