Male Australian King-Parrots (Alisterus scapularis) are the only Australian parrots with a completely red head. Females are similar to males except that they have a completely green head and breast. Both sexes have a red belly and a green back, with green wings and a long green tail.
This gentle fellow is a regular visitor to my backyard in Sydney. They do not squawk or screech like a lot of parrots but have a soft bell sounding voice. This gentle, beautiful bird is delightful in every sense.
