There are several subspecies of Eclectus parrots and the female feather color patterns in those subspecies vary as does their habitat and size. Eclectus parrots are found in Lesser Sundas, Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and NE Australia.
In the early 1980′s they were found to be among the most common parrots in the Moluccan Islands. They originated from the Cape York Peninsula of Australia, the islands of Indonesia, the Solomon Islands, and New Guinea. However, only a few of the subspecies are available in aviculture including: the Grand, Red Sided, Vosmaeri, and Solomon Island subspecies. Their conservation status is listed as Least Concern. The females have red heads and blue to purple breasts, depending on the subspecies, and they have black beaks. Eclectus Roratus are intelligent and are generally classified among the top three parrots for their talking ability.
