|  Red Breasted Musk Parrot BrokenWing Chronicles Red Breasted Musk Parrot Prosopeia tabuensis A look at a very beautiful Parrot, not common in the PET industry. Perhaps the most famous, and easily seen of the larger Fijian birds are the yellow and red-breasted musk parrots (Prosopeia personata and Prosopeia tabuensis ) get their name from their distinctive musky odor. It's not unusual to see small flocks squawking of red-breasted musk parrots flitting about the coconut trees in Taveuni or the other larger islands. Don't be surprised if a taxi driver offers to procure one of these creatures for you to take home. They are popular as pets with locals and evidently are sold to visitors on the sly. This is highly illegal but unfortunately a common practice. BW  | |||||||||||||||||||||
