Eclectus Parrot Aru Red Sided history

Aru Red Sided Eclectus Parrots come from the Aru Islands, of course. This species is possibly a subspecies one of the most commonly kept species of Australian Eclectus Parrot in captivity, the Red Sided Eclectus. Gray first noted it in 1858. Eclectus Parrot pairs are often mistaken for two birds of different species, since their coloration is so vastly different.
