It is distinguished by its unique white lower body, which contrasts with it’s back and wings of midnight black. The head is black topped with white around the eyes and extending outwards to the beak. The beak is a magnificence of sweeping colors with yellow, black and red being the dominant colors, and the colorings lead to the nicknames ‘clown of the ocean’ and ‘sea parrot’ for this bird.
