Red Winged Parrot

Also known as the Crimson Wing.The Red-winged parrot is typically about 30 to 33 cm (12–13 in) in length. Both sexes have bright red wings and a bright green body. 
Not endangered, this magnificent parrot Is found right across the top of Australia. The striking crimson wing marking on the male is simply stunning and takes some two years to fully colour up. The males are quite aggressive and can bully the female badly in mating season as well as other birds. It is a difficult bird to control in our walk in area because of this and sometimes they have to be removed for peace for the other birds.
