The Regent Parrot is a large, long-tailed parrot native to open inland areas of southeastern and southwestern Australia, renowned for its striking yellow, green, and black colouration and its strong dependence on riverine woodlands and mallee ecosystems. There are two distinct populations: the eastern subspecies (Polytelis anthopeplus monarchoides) in the lower Murray-Darling basin, and the western subspecies (P. a. anthopeplus) in southwestern Western Australia.
