Lorius garrulus garrulus
Medium sized bird with red body and multi colored wings. It is considered vulnerable, the main threat being from trapping for the cage-bird trade.
A victim of the exotic pet trade, this bird was taken in by the Butterfly World sanctuary to live out the remainder of its life.
My information came from this book:
