SUBSPECIES
INFO: VOSMAER'S ECLECTUS
>
Vosmaer's Eclectus
(Eclectus roratus Vosmaeri)
Vosmaer’s
or Vosmaeri Eclectus are the most beautiful member of the Eclectus
family; the female is most striking when you see them for the
first time. They are found in Indonesia on the islands of Halmahera,
Obi, Bacan and Sula in the northern Malukus. Larger than the Grand
Eclectus, the Vosmaer's with her overall red appearance, is paler
than the other members of this species, from the blending colours
of her breast from pale red to lavender with no defined bib, the
yellow under-tail coverts, red tail feathers and bright buttercup
yellow band to the tip of the tail. The Vosmaer's Eclectus Parrot
is the most popular subspecies kept in aviculture today.
