Crimson Rosella

The Crimson Rosella adult male, in the crimson form, has predominantly deep red plumage contrasted with blue wings and a long blue tail. Black feathers broadly edged in red create a scalloped pattern across the back and shoulders, while the breast is largely unpatterned and the flight feathers are dark with blue outer edges. Broad violet-blue cheek patches stand out sharply against the red head and throat.
