a. Euphema Pulchella (Chestnut Shouldered Grass Parrakeet) = Neophema pulchella (turquoise parrot)
The turquoise parrot (Neophema pulchella) is a species of parrot in the genus Neophema native to Eastern Australia, from southeastern Queensland, through New South Wales and into North-Eastern Victoria. Found in grasslands and open woodlands dominated by Eucalyptus and Callitris trees, the turquoise parrot feeds mainly on grasses and seeds and occasionally flowers, fruit and scale insects. It nests in hollows of gum trees. Much of its habitat has been altered and potential nesting sites lost. Predominantly sedentary, the turquoise parrot can be locally nomadic.

b. Euphema splendida (Splendid Parrakeet) = Neophema splendida (scarlet-chested parrot)
The scarlet-chested parrot (Neophema splendida), known alternately as scarlet-breasted parrot, orange-throated parrot or splendid parrot, is a parrot endemic to central South Australia and inland southern Western Australia. The species is sexually dimorphic; the male has a bright blue face and scarlet chest and yellow underparts, amid overall green plumage, while the female is similar but lacks the red chest. These nomadic parakeets move readily from the Great Victoria Desert region into neighbouring areas. These interruptions are triggered by a search for more favourable conditions. They can survive quite well without access to drinking water, however, as succulent plants help meet much of their fluid requirement. These parrots feed mainly on grass seeds and are most commonly sighted in spinifex.

c. Euphema Elegans (Elegant Grass Parrakeet) = Neophema elegans (elegant parrot)

Order: Psittaciformes > Family: Psittaculidae > Genus: Neophema > Species: Neophema elegans (Gould, 1837) |
