The Scarlet-chested Parrot is a small, highly colorful parrot native to the arid interior of Australia. Males are spectacularly adorned with brilliant blue, green, and a prominent scarlet chest, while females are duller.
Where to spot
Inhabits arid and semi-arid grasslands, shrublands, and sparse woodlands across inland Australia, often in spinifex country.
How to spot
Males are unmistakable due to their brilliant blue face, green body, and vivid scarlet chest. Females are duller. Look for them feeding on grass seeds. Listen for their soft, tinkling calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen foraging on the ground. Its nomadic nature means its presence can be unpredictable, tied to local rainfall.
