Experts believe that only 1,000 pairs of these birds remain in the world and this figure is declining. Swift parrots prefer to live in forest and forest areas or near rural farms and plantations.

The appearance of a quick parrot is rather striking. Most of these birds have a bright and highly visible green color, with blue and red accentuating colors on the head. Adults and juveniles are similarly colored, with several variations. Young swift parrot has a pale organge beak and a brown eye area. The male bird tends to have a brilliant color compared to the more subdued appearance of a woman.

swift parrots were officials considered endangered since at least 1988 when they were listed in the F ActLors and fauna in the Australian Victoria region. This endangered status was confirmed in 1999, when the birds were included in the Australian Environmental Protection Act and biodiversity. Many preservation experts believe that the destruction of suitable habitats and decrease in trees caused a decrease in population. The future of Swift Parrot is uncertain. Environmental groups in Australia and Tasmania hope that measures for protection and increased awareness will allow these birds to prosper in the coming years.
