Thanks brother for posting that flag; and yes it is :).

Our God is an awesome God! His Creation is absolutely beautiful.
YW. I think the lorikeet is from Australia, right?

In Dominica, the type of parrot on the flag is a protected species.

Yes, the Rainbow Lorikeet is a brilliant uh... rainbow tapestry of colours and can be found in much of Australia. I've seen quite a few of them. Definitely the mark of a supreme, intelligent designer.

Yes that is correct Farouk, as Tintin affirmed earlier.


In Dominica, the type of parrot on the flag is a protected species.

I was studying the parrot on the Flag of Dominica very closely and I did notice a couple fo differences. And as I am sure you may have figured out already, it is actually a completely different parrot.

It is called the Sisserou Parrot and it is only found within the rainforest of Dominica. Therefore it is a very rare species to say the least.

Here are some photos which I found of this particular type of parrot:

I guess this is why the government of Dominica protects it.

A pity if it dies out.

Blessings.

I don't have too much input besides awesome pictures! I was not aware of the Rainbow Lorikeet before. Very awesome looking creature, and I agree this does indeed display God is an amazing Creator. Also I liked the pictures of the Sisserou Parrot too, which I was also not aware of until this topic. Very cool stuff indeed!

In a place I used to rent in Cairns, we had a big back yard with tree/foliage all across the back fence.

One day I woke up and went out the back. There were probably 200 of these guys snacking away. Amazing stuff. The cats tried to eat a few as well.

Beautiful! One of, if not my favorite creations are birds. They are colorful and some can talk. Amazing :)
