Scarlet-chested parrot

The scarlet-chested parrot (''Neophema splendida''), known alternately as scarlet-breasted parrot, orange-throated parrot or splendid parrot, is a parrot endemic to central South Australia and inland southern Western Australia. The species is sexually dimorphic; the male has a bright blue face and scarlet chest and yellow underparts, amid overall green plumage, while the female is similar but lacks the red chest. These nomadic parakeets move readily from the Great Victoria Desert region into neighbouring areas. These interruptions are triggered by a search for more favourable conditions. They can survive quite well without access to drinking water, however, as succulent plants help meet much of their fluid requirement. They feed mainly on grass seeds and are most commonly sighted in spinifex.
==Taxonomy==
The scarlet-chested parrot was originally named by the renowned ornithologist and artist John Gould in 1841 as ''Euphema splendida''.〔(Species Neophema (Neophema) splendida (Gould, 1841) ), Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts of Australian Government〕 Its specific name ''splendida'' is the Latin adjective "splendid". No subspecies are recognised.
Italian ornithologist Tommaso Salvadori erected the new genus ''Neophema'' in 1891, placing the scarlet-chested parrot within it and giving it its current scientific name. It is one of six species of grass parrot in the genus ''Neophema'', and is most closely related to the turquoise parrot. The two are an allopatric species pair, and are the only two species in the genus to exhibit marked sexual dimorphism.
Common names include ''scarlet-chested parrot'', ''orange-throated parrot'', ''splendid parrot'', ''scarlet-breasted parrot'', and ''scarlet-chested parakeet'' in aviculture.〔
