The Superb Parrot is a rare treasure indeed. Only about 6,500 thousand of them have survived in their natural habitat. Their iridescent green plumage is striking. John Dengate, director of public affairs at New South Wales National Park Services shares the following interesting fact:

"In fact the green parrot doesn't have any green pigment on it. The microscopic ultrastructure of the feathers gets white light and bends it into green so that the brighter the day is the greener parrots look. So on a sunny day the bird looks like it has a light inside of it."
