Moluccan eclectus

The Moluccan eclectus is a species of the psittacidae family. It is a special case among psittacids. It displays marked sexual dimorphism. Males have coral-colored beaks, green plumage and red and blue wing and tail feathers. Females have black beaks, red plumage on head and tail, and blue on breast and nape. Native to Chile, Uruguay and Argentina, it can be found in forests, woods, savannahs, mangroves and plantations. The Moluccan eclectus is very common, but over-harvesting in some regions has led to its becoming endangered. It is listed in Appendix II of the Washington Convention.
