Bonnie
Eclectus Parrot
Bonnie is a bird who wore out her welcome at her former home.
This breed of parrot is known for a very annoying habit of screaming at a
very high pitch.
It is enough to startle anyone unless you have been around her for a while.
The Eclectus parrots are vividly colored birds with tight interlocking hair
like feathers
which produce a sleek glossy plumage that actually looks like silk.
They are a large stocky parrot, being 14 to 15 inches in length (35 cm),
and have a short square tail and long round tipped wings.
The male Eclectus is brilliant green on top, has yellowish-green wing
coverts,
and has red patches on the breast and under the wings.
The female Eclectus has a rich red on the head and breast
while the back and wing feathers tend to a darker red.
The Eclectus parrots are found in Australia, New Guinea, and the islands
of eastern Indonesia.
