The swift parrot (Lathamus discolor) breeds in Tasmania and migrates north to south eastern Australia from Griffith-Warialda in New South Wales and west to Adelaide in the winter. It is related to the rosellas, with the feeding habits of a lorikeet. It is the only member in the genus Lathamus.
There was estimated to be fewer than 2000 mature individuals remaining in the wild as of 2011. In 2014, researchers from the Australian National University modelled that the species may face extinction by 2031 due to predation and loss of habitat,the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) upgraded the status of the swift parrot from endangered to critically endangered in October 2015 based on results from the study. {information from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift_parrot)
Parrot tulips are known for their large petals with bright colors that are capriciously shaped and distinctively colored.
The "Rococo" tulip is a velvety red tulip with accents of purple, yellow and green. Yes, the large flowers always have green spots somewhere.
It is still flowering in a pot in my conservatory, but I will soon move it into a bed and hope that it will come back next year.
Papageientulpe 'Roccoco' (Tulipa x Hybrida 'Rococo')
Papageientulpen sind bekannt für ihre großen Blütenblätter mit leuchtenden Farben, die kapriziös geformt und apart gefärbt sind.
Die Tulpe "Rococo" ist eine samtig-rote Edeltulpe mit Akzenten in Lila, Gelb und Grün. Ja, die großen Blüten haben immer irgendwo grüne Flecken.
Noch blüht sie im Topf bei mir im Wintergarten, aber bald werde ich sie ins Beet bringen und hoffe, dass sie nächstes Jahr wiederkommt.

We had just walked a trail without seeing or photographing anything.
As we were returning to the car, suddenly a group of these beautiful parrots appeared. They spent some time feeding in the grass and then disappeared.
Uncommon and classified as Vulnerable.

During my recent trip to the Dominican Republic, we had the opportunity to visit Scape Park to tour some caves and the Hoyo Azul. They also had some animal displays, one of which was some Macaws which I happily snapped some images of.
Thanks for viewing and hope you have a great weekend!
I met this Parrot at our local beach cafe. We had taken our dog for a walk down the beach and the couple at the next table had taken their parrot for a walk too. It definitely seemed to be enjoying himself, he had an awful lot to say.
Dear friends!
Thank you so much for your kind comments and visits! They are appreciated.
With love
