Eclectus Parrot

Scientific Name: Eclectus Roratus

This species displays visible light sexual dimorphism, which means that the males are coloured differently and noticeably from the females. The males are coloured green, blue and yellow, whereas, the females are coloured bright red and purple.

They live up to about 30 to 40 years. Their diet covers varieties of seeds, nuts, berries, fruits, leaf buds, blossoms, and nectar. Birds live in small flocks or pairs. During the day, they flock to a feeding site with the size of flocks which gather there being determined by how many fruit trees are available. At night, they may roost in groups of up to 80.
