A large, brightly colored parrot with a dark red head and underside and a bright green upperside with a blue neck and tail. Occurs in a variety of habitats. Similar to Crimson Shining-Parrot, but has darker red underparts and a brownish-red head with a bright orange eye; the two occur on nearby islands but do not overlap. Voice is typical of parrots, including a variety of nasal “erh” and “grrraah” calls.
