The Superb Parrot is a medium-sized, striking parrot endemic to southeastern Australia, known for its brilliant green plumage and the male's vibrant yellow and red facial markings.
Where to spot
Open woodlands, especially along rivers (breeding) and drier inland woodlands (non-breeding), in southeastern New South Wales and Victoria, Australia.
How to spot
Look for its brilliant green plumage. Males have a bright yellow face with a red band across the throat; females are duller with a bluish-green face. Listen for their distinctive, musical chattering calls, often heard in flight.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (spring/summer) in riverside forests, or during winter when they congregate in drier woodlands. Active during the day.
