(Males are bright green)
Eclectus are one of the few parrots that are sexually dichromatic -that is, you can tell the male from the female easily just by looking at the colors. Most parrots show little or no visible differences. My wife hand-raised two males for an acquaintence who owns a breeding pair. The males are a brilliant green with patches of red and blue under the wings.

Very tropical. Almost makes me feel like I'm in Florida again.

Cool painting. And I learned something.
I am going to have to try a media layer only post one of these weeks.
PS -Good to see you post early.
Now that's some rich red going on there. The eye adds great contrast.
