    1. No, she is a pet that belongs to someone nearby. We have a male ekky and a few days ago she started showing up and hanging out with our bird. Posted 4 years ago

The Moluccan eclectus (Eclectus roratus) is a parrot native to the Maluku Islands (Moluccas). It is unusual in the parrot family for its extreme sexual dimorphism of the colours of the plumage; the male having a mostly bright emerald green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage.
