breast is yellowish green, abdomen is a stronger yellow, nape and back blue green, rump is red (hence the name). The female is a duller olive gray green. They are found over most of southeast Australia. The species is very common in the wild. There is also a subspecies (P.h. caeruleus); called the "Paler Red-rumped Parrot"; which is a paler more bluish version of the nominate species. The Red-rumped Parakeet prefer lightly timbered land close to a permanent source of water. Pairs or flocks of parrots are often found around farm buildings, but they can also be seen in city parks or perching on telegraph wires in suburban streets.
