This is one of the most absolute bright and colorful birds you will find in nature. You will find all the colors of the spectrum on the Eastern Rosella parakeet. The head is saturated, bright red while the top wing feathers are yellow and black with a hint of red on the edges. The undertail is very light green while the top tail feathers are quite blue and quite long. Red, yellow, purple, blue, black, green and white are the colors seen in this outstanding bird.
Males are somewhat brighter than females but it is difficult to tell the gender.
They can be taught to whistle, talk, and may become quite friendly. As in many parrots bred in many aviaries, there are several color mutations available. Normally the head and chest are bright red with white cheeks and yellow nape. The back feathers are black bordered with a green and yellow. Wings are purplish blue.
