This is the same bird, a female King Parrot. I have presented the two views in one image to show the colorful red chest of the female, the male has the red right up to the head and down the back of the head about a 1/3 of the way plus a much longer tail. They are very elegant birds in real life. 

I have presented like this as I often want to see the full colouring of many of the birds posted here as they are from other continents and new to me. I thought others may have similar feelings. Plus my skills as a bird whisperer are not apparent at this time so I could not get the birds to present in the classic sought after poses.
