Prosopeia

The Prosopeia genus includes three species of Shining Parrot.

These large (about 45-47 cm long) long tailed parrots have a very bright plumage as the English name implies.

They are endemic to the islands of Fiji, however the Maroon Shining Parrot has also been introduced to Tonga.

They are very rare in captivity.
