The swift parrot is a small, brightly colored bird native to Australia. It is known for its vibrant green plumage, with a distinctive red forehead and blue wings. These parrots are migratory, traveling from Tasmania to the mainland during the breeding season, which typically occurs from September to January. Swift parrots primarily feed on the nectar of flowering trees, particularly eucalyptus species. They are classified as endangered due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species like cats and foxes. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their breeding habitats and ensure their survival.
