The Alexandrine Parrot – a large bird with a streamlined body and elongated central tail feathers – is an excellent example of a good-feathered bird. The cock has predominately green plumage, a rose-pink collar, a purple-red patch on the wings and a broad black stripe across the lower cheeks. The tail is blue, tipped with yellow. The mandible is red with a paler tip. The iris is pale yellow, the legs grey-green. The hen is duller in colour, lacks the rose-pink collar and the black stripe and has a shorter tail. Juveniles are similar to the hen. The cocks do not attain adult plumage until they are 2-3 years of age.
