Step into the world of our Australian king parrots and unlock the wonders of these extraordinary creatures
The Australian king parrot is a large parrot species native to eastern Australia. These birds typically grow to be between 40 and 45 cm in length, with the males often being slightly larger.
One of the most noticeable features of the Australian king parrot is their vibrant and eye-catching plumage. Their feathers are a stunning combination of bright red and dark green, with a contrasting green head and breast. The males exhibit particularly intense and vivid colours, while the females are known for their more subdued and understated plumage. Australian king parrots are equipped with strong, curved beaks that are adapted for cracking open seeds and nuts, their primary source of food in the wild. Their claws are specialized for gripping and climbing, with two toes at the front and two toes at the back.
