Aren't they gorgeous birds, grassy? Thanks so much for this. These are
better pix than I was able to find and still don't include the Eastern
Rosella, which I think is the most common of them. I've just now found some
more pix here: http://www.geocities.com/ozwildlife_birds/rosella.html
Hope everyone enjoys a sighting of what is really a lovely bird, whatever
it's sub-species.
Cheers,
Frank
