The Red-capped Parrot is a medium-sized, vividly coloured parrot endemic to southwestern Australia’s eucalypt woodlands, especially where Marri trees are present. Instantly recognizable by its crimson crown and specialized long bill, this parrot is uniquely adapted to extracting seeds from the woody fruits of Marri and other eucalypts.
