Eclectus parrot. A male Eclectus parrot briefly stretched out its wing and I had to be very quick to get some photos. This is a portion of the top of the right wing (the right wing if you imagine yourself being the bird). Photographed at the Cairns Wildlife Dome, Australia.

The female Eclectus parrot is a gorgeous dark blue and red, while the males are dull by comparison, but this photo shows a colourful portion of the plumage between the wing on the left and the breast on the right.
