Pappa Parrot (Alisterus scapularis)

As I was making my way to the kitchen block for breakfast I saw a flock of Australian King Parrots flying around. They settled in a tree and I managed to get myself in a position to get a picture or two.

It turned out to be a mixed group of sexes and ages, so possibly a family party.
