(1) Platycercus eximius eximius
(2) Platycercus eximius diemenensis
(3) Platycercus eximius ceciliae
(4) Platycercus eximius splendidus
Several subspecies occur in Australia. Often the captive birds are
attributed to the subspecies ceciliae, but in fact the domesticated
forms in Europe are a mixture of several subspecies and thus cannot be
attributed to one of the natural forms.
