Crimson Rosella


Crimson Rosella at Sandy Point

COMMON NAME: Crimson Rosella

CATEGORIES: Bush

Medium sized colourful parrots, the adults have striking red and blue plumage.

By contrast, immature birds are mainly green and look totally different.

Usually in pairs or small groups, often you can hear them before you see them.

You may see debris falling from a tree, and if you look up you can spot them feeding on seeds and flowers.
