How can you tell if a King parrot is male or female? Male Australian King parrots have a bright red head, breast, and underside with a blue stripe across the back of their neck and a gray patch or shoulder band on each side, above the wing. The male has a reddish-orange upper mandible with a black tip, a black lower mandible with an orange base, and yellow irises. The plumage of the female is very different from the male having a green head and breast, a grey beak, and the pale shoulder band is small or absent. Although King-Parrots appear distinctly red and green to humans, when viewed under ultraviolet light, some feathers on the wings appear with a prominent yellow glow.
