Flag of Dominica

🎨 What the flag means

Dominica's flag is green with a cross of yellow, black and white stripes and a red circle in the middle. Inside the circle is the sisserou parrot, the national bird, surrounded by ten green stars for the country's ten parishes. Green stands for the lush forests and red for justice. Because the parrot is purple, it is one of very few national flags with purple.
