The mulga parrot (Psephotus varius), also known as the many-colored parrot, is endemic to arid scrublands and lightly timbered grasslands in the interior of southern Australia. The mulga parrot was given its current scientific name of Psephotus varius by American zoologist Austin Hobart Clark in 1910, after its name Psephotus multicolor was ruled invalid as the original combination (Psittacus multicolor) had been used for another species. It is one of five species in the Psephotus. Common names include the mulga parrot, many-coloured parrot, and varied parrot. Order: Psittaciformes, Superfamily: Psittacoidea, Family: Psittaculidae, Subfamily: Platycercinae, Synonyms: Psephotus multicolor.
