Eclectus parrots are a brightly coloured parrot found in the topical rainforests of Queensland. The colouring of the males and females are completely different. The male is bright green with an orange beak while the female is red with a black beak. They are endemic to Queensland, Australia and has a conservation status of least concern.
2. What is the conservation status of the orange-bellied parrot?

Answer: Critically Endangered

The orange bellied parrot is a critically endangered parrot which breeds in the far southwest of Tasmania and migrates to Northern Tasmania and King Island.

The back and wings are a darker green colour with blue tips on the wings.
3. What is the main colour of the wild budgerigar?

Answer: Green

Budgerigars are mainly green with yellow flakes across their back. They grow to about 20cm and are found in the open bushland across most of Australia where there is access to water. They are sometimes seen in flocks of thousands but are usually seen in smaller groups of up to a few hundred.

6. Where does the golden shouldered parrot make its nest?

Answer: Termite Mound

The golden-shouldered parrot builds its nests in termite mounds that are at least two meters high and then they will tunnel into a mound after it has been weakened by the rains. The parrots will burrow into the rain-weakened mud and then create a nesting chamber at the end of the tunnel. A clutch of eggs will then be laid in this chamber.

Answer: Dwarf Fig Parrot

The double-eyed fig parrot can also be known as the blue-faced fig parrot, red-faced fig parrot, dwarf fig parrot and the two-eyed fig parrot.
8. Which adult superb parrot incubates the eggs?

Answer: Only the female

The female alone incubates and is fed by the male while sitting on the eggs and also when the eggs are hatched and still very small. When the chicks are bigger, both the male and female feed them.
9. What colour ring does the ring neck parrot have?

Answer: Yellow

The Australian ringneck is a reasonably large parrot compared to others and can be different in size and colour in different regions. All are a mostly green colour with an obvious yellow ring on the back of the neck.

Answer: Grey

Cockatiels are a small grey parrot with a crest and an orange cheek spot. If bred in an aviary though, the specimens can be different in colours and patterns like all white to all grey.
