“King of the Jews” — fulfilling Genesis 49:10, that the true king of Israel must be born from the tribe of Judah, which is the tribe that Mary came from. (And that Australian King Parrot is as regal as any parrot I’ve seen — no wonder it’s called a “King Parrot”.)

Thanks, Dr. Jim. Many OT were fulfilled by the birth of Jesus Christ. This is just one of them. The parrot is quite regal alright.

A stunning bird to see in the wild especially in the sunshine. I always get excited when I see them, which is frequently when out in the bush.

Thanks, I have been trying to not just use just American birds. This one seemed to fit the name also. Would love to see one in the “bush”.
