Other Names
Beautiful Parrot, Scarlet-shouldered Parrot, Anthill Parrot, Soldier Parrot.
Description
Medium sized distinctly coloured parrot which resembles the Hooded and Golden Shouldered Parrot to some extent. The sexes of this species are fairly similar in plumage details. The throat, sides of neck and breast is green. The rest of the underparts are red. The crown is black with a red band on the forehead. Wings brown-black with distinct red patches. An area of the same colour extends from the belly to the base of the tail. The female differs from the male in that she is much paler in colour. There are no records for immature birds.
Very little is known about the Paradise Parrot and no substantiated discovery has been recorded since about 1927, despite many searches.
The Paradise Parrot was usually encountered in pairs or small parties, foraging almost entirely on the ground. It was said to be quite tame and approachable and most active in the early morning and late afternoon.
Length: 270-300mm.
