Description

Male Red-winged Parrot perched in a tree.
Red-winged Parrots are mainly green in colour and have an orange beak. The Male Red-winged Parrot can be recognized by the red wing patch and the black nape. In flight he reveals a deep blue patch on his lower back. Females only have a small red wing patch, and a light blue patch on their back.
These Parrots can be found in open woodland and along tree-lined watercourses, ranging from northern Australia through eastern Australia, in pairs or in flocks. They feed on seeds, berries, flowers and insects, spending most of their time in trees.
Taken in south-west Queensland, Australia.
