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.

Wow! Great work Christiane. Thanks for sharing.
You liked my Osprey, and I have to say...your King-Parrot is a jewel. Great Capture!
Thanks Mark and venusflytrap2000 .. We have them nesting in a tree nearby. :)
Great captures!
Good shot.
I was just reading how these birds need a 2 metre deep tree hollow to nest.
