The eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) is a parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia, and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas).
There is a huge difference in appearance between the male and the female. The male has a mostly bright green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage.
It was first thought that they were of two distinct species.
