This is one of the most beautiful of the short or 

 even-tailed Parrots, and in size is at least equal, 

 if not rather superior to the Psittacus erithacus or 

 Common Grey Parrot. Its plumage is fine grass- 

 green, rather paler beneath; the feathers edged 

 or fringed with purplish-brown: the front, all 

 round the base of the bill, is bright-red; the 

 cheeks fine deep-blue, and the top of the head 

 yellow: the edge of the wing, at some distance 

 beyond the shoulders, is red; all the wing-coverts 

 and the shorter quill-feathers edged with yellow: 

 the alulet pale, and the larger quill-feathers deep 

 or dusky blue: the outside feather on each side 

 the tail deep blue, tipped pretty deeply with yel- 

 low ; the next feather red with a similar yellow 

 tip, and all the remaining ones green with yellow
