It is not part of a set and has no images. Its existence is just a result of people disagreeing whether the green or the red part of the parrot is the base color. Therefore, the red version should be removed from the catalog. I just Googled "red green parrot" and now I'm wondering which bird the LEGO designers photographed when making this marbled bird. It would be interesting to see what they thought this bird was, according to it's taxonomy. Parrots with a green base and red top don't really exist in the form that the bird shows for this catalog entry. Therefore this bird either has an identity crisis or is fictional. Anyone know of any LEGO designers that might have given out insights on which bird they used for this particular marbled variety of parrot? This might have been discussed before in another thread about this catalog entry, if this is a repeated question please disregard or link to discussions. Cheers ... ghyde

[...] Given it comes in sets with yellow people, I doubt they cared too much about taxonomy and realistic colours. (8 months ago, Oct 11, 2023, to Colors)
