The flag of Dominica was adopted on November 3, 1978. In the original version the Sisserou parrot (Amazona imperialis) was facing flywards (changed in 1988), and the ordering of the bands differed (yellow-white-black from top to bottom, changed in 1981). The ten stars, which represent the island's ten parishes, were also originally border-less; they had the border added in 1981.
