Overview

Male red-winged parrots are lime green, with red shoulder patches, a black back and blue rump. The bill and eyes are red; females have smaller wing patches and greener backs.

Pairs or flocks forage chiefly in tree canopies for seeds, blossoms, nectar, pollen and insects. They inhabit open woodland and wooded watercourses. Females incubate eggs in tree hollows; males may feed them.
