Thanks! I thought I was using the correct family or clade term, my bad. I'd never heard of a eclectus parrot before, but she sure is pretty.

All parakeets are parrots but not all parrots are parakeets.

Eclectus are gorgeous. The males are emerald green with orange beaks. They have the most sexual dimorphism of any of the parrot family.
