Maybe is a cultural thing @sallybeth23, like in Japan, where people say the sun is red. I see it more like a bluish green anyway, but it could perfectly be turquoise. Apparently, the female is light green, that's maybe the real reason why it's called that way. Beautiful bird and great shots by the way!

That’s an interesting thought, yes u could be right. Yes the female i slight green, funnily I see lots of the females but this is the first male I have seen.
