Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus) is a beautiful parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas). It is unusual in the parrot family for its extreme sexual dimorphism of the colours of the plumage; the male having a mostly bright emerald green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage. Their bright feathers are also use by native tribespeople in New Guinea as decorations.

Originating in the Solomon Islands, this bird is prized for its stunning appearance and great pet quality. A little harder to find than some of the other parrots of this size. The males are bright green, with bright candy corn-colored beaks and blue or red tail and wing feathers.
The average weight of the adult male Eclectus is 430 grams with a range of 388 to 524. The females are red head and blue-breast, with black beaks.
