Golden-shouldered Parakeet (Psephotus chrysopterygius)

An old painting of one of the most endangered Australian psittacidae. The stunning Golden-shouldered Parakeet displays a striking sexual dimorphism (male top / female bottom). This species lives mostly in Cape York Peninsula, in Queensland, in open forests and grasslands, close to termite mounds where this parakeet burrows its nest.

What a beautiful painting this is, and quite a rare species to visit the Gallery too.

Many thanks for sharing this lovely artwork with us.
