The Red-winged Parrot is a widespread and vividly colored species found across northern and eastern Australia and southern New Guinea. Males are particularly stunning with their bright green bodies and large red wing patches.
Where to spot
Common in open woodlands, riverine forests, savannas, and sometimes agricultural areas across its extensive range in Australia and southern New Guinea.
How to spot
Look for the striking red wing coverts, especially prominent on males. Listen for their characteristic high-pitched 'chink-chink' call, often given in flight or when perched in the canopy.
When to spot
Best observed feeding in the early morning and late afternoon. They are generally resident but may make local movements in response to food availability.

Red-winged Parrots often forage on the ground for fallen seeds and fruits, a behavior that distinguishes them from many other arboreal parrot species that primarily feed in trees.
