Flag of Dominica
The
flag of Dominica was adopted on
November 3,
1978, with some small changes being made in
1981 and
1988. The flag features a
green background. A
red circle at the centre features a
Sisserou Parrot (
Amazona imperialis) surrounded by ten green stars, which represent the island's ten
parishes. Four strips of three coloured bands (yellow, black and white) radiate horizontally and vertically from the circle.
Before 1981, the colours of the bands were ordered differently and the green stars had no borders. Before 1988, the parrot faced in the opposite direction.
