The
flag of Dominica consists of a forest green base with three equal sized vertical
stripes and three equal horizontal stripes crossing through the middle of it.
The stripes go from left to right and from top to bottom. They are yellow, black
and red in color. In the middle of the Dominican flag is a red circle with a
Sisserou parrot facing the left side (hoist side). Circling the parrot are 10
green five pointed stars with yellow outlines. |

The ten green
stars, which are the traditional symbol of hope, represent the ten parishes of
Dominica. The Sisserou Parrot is the national bird of Dominica and symbolizes
flight towards greater heights and fulfillment of aspirations. The Parrot also
comes from the Dominica Coat of Arms, representing the official seal of the
country. The Dominican flag's stripes form a cross representing the Trinity of
God. The cross itself demonstrates belief in God. An official Dominican
announcement also stated: "The yellow stripe represents the sunshine of our
land, our main agricultural products: citrus and bananas and also a symbol of
the Carib people, the first inhabitants of the Island. The white stripe
represents the clarity of our rivers and waterfalls and the purity of aspiration
of our people. The black stripe represents the rich black soil of our island on
which our agriculture is based and also our African heritage. The general
background of dark green symbolizes our rich verdant forests and the general
lushness of the island."
