The male has a more bluish tinge to its green cheeks and neck, and its tail is edged with a broad band of yellow. The female has an all red plumage, except for royal blue primaries, yellow under-tail coverts and a broad band of yellow to edge the tail.[4][3]
Rare in captivity, the Tanimbar eclectus can be found in zoos and bird parks in Spain and Germany.[3]
