Some of the most Colourful Birds are found in Australia. (not my photos)
Splendid Fairy Wren
There is no false modesty attached to the Splendid Fairy-wren — it lives up to its name. Male birds in breeding plumage shimmer in electric shades of violet-blue, turquoise and pale-blue, relieved only by a few bands of inky black feathers.
However, it is not all glitz and glamour because, as in most species of fairy-wrens, males in non-breeding plumage and females are mostly drab brown, although their long tail feathers are dull-blue.
Gouldian Finch.
In my opinion, one of the most beautiful Birds in the World.
Their spectacular psychedelic plumage makes them a must have for those who like to breed birds.
They live in Northern Australia in what is called Tropical Savannah Woodland . Their home range being about 40 sq km.
Rainbow Lorikeet
Rainbow lorikeet is a parrot with a dash of color on its feathers. This bird could be called the Pride of Australia. With its smearing colourful beauty and sweet-naughty nature, this bird is a hot favorite amongst Aviculturalists. (Bird Breeders)
The head is a shade of deep blue. The left and right upper sides are deep green.
The belly is usually deep green. The thighs and the buttocks are merged in yellow and deep green.
Almost impossible to tell the difference between a Male and a Female.
Eclectus Parrot
These parrots are very playful in a graceful way. The male is generally quieter than the female and a little less moody. The female is the dominant gender of the species. When the female reaches breeding age, she may become aggressive. It is instinctive and she will eventually calm down as she matures.
Female/Male
Azure Kingfisher
With its combination of royal-blue plumage on its upperparts contrasting with orange on its underparts, the Azure Kingfisher is one of the smallest and most dazzling kingfishers in Australia
The Azure Kingfisher plunges from overhanging perches into water to catch prey.
