The Sumba eclectus,[2] or Cornelia's eclectus[3] (Eclectus cornelia) is a parrot species which is native to Sumba. Also larger than the Moluccan eclectus, the male is a paler shade of green overall and has a bluer tail. The female has an all red plumage, except for the primaries which are a dark royal blue,[4] and can be differentiated from the Tanimbar eclectus by the lack of yellow to her tail.[3]
Aviculture
[edit | edit source]The Sumba eclectus can be found in zoos and bird parks in Spain and Germany, although it is uncommon in wider aviculture.[3]
