| Juvenile female Australian king Parrot. Photo taken by Eleesha Hardy, © August 2012. |
The head of this bird is a green colour but it is not a deep rich green as seen in adult female King Parrots. There is also no pale green colouring in the wing feathers.
The chest and throat colouring is nearly identical to that of the adult females but the colouring is a bit on the dull side.
Currently, the only way to identify this bird from the other female King Parrots in the area is the dark green patch of feathers around her right eye. I am not sure if this same patch of dark green feathers is on the left side of her face or not. It will be interesting to see if she loses the dark green feathers or whether they get darker or lighter the more she matures. Apart from that she looks identical to an female adult King Parrot.
