Flag of Dominica. The flag of Dominica was adopted on November 3, 1978, with some small changes having been made in 1981, 1988, and 1990. The flag, adopted in 1978, features the national bird emblem, the sisserou parrot, which also appears on the coat of arms granted July 21, 1961. This parrot is unique to Dominica. It is an endangered species; only a few pairs remain. The green field represents the lush vegetation of the island. The cross represents the Trinity and the Christian faith, and its 3 colours recall the native Indians, the fertile soil, and the pure water. The 10 stars stand for the 10 parishes and the red disc for social justice.
