Mulga Parrots are vividly colored birds from Australia’s arid interior. It is one of the most beautiful parrots in the country with its green body, blue face, and yellow highlights. Males are brighter than females, who are olive-green. In breeding season, these birds are commonly found in couples or small groups.

This parrot is peaceful and polite. While other parrots squawk, the Mulga Parrot makes delicate, melodious calls. They eat seeds, grasses, and insects on the ground. They find food and nesting grounds in open forests, mulga scrub, and scant vegetation.

Food abundance following the wet season encourages breeding. Mulga Parrot females lay up to six eggs in hollow branches or trunks. The chicks fledge at five weeks and are fed by both parents.

They are not endangered, but habitat degradation and land use changes may threaten their populations.
