Scarlet-chested Parrot
4 sections
The Scarlet-chested Parrot (*Neophema splendida*) is a small, brilliantly coloured, nomadic parrot native to the arid and semi-arid interior of southern Australia, especially the Great Victoria Desert. Despite its vivid colours, this species is secretive and often overlooked, moving erratically in response to food and rainfall.
