adelaide rosella

I get a bit lost with these Rosellas. Think I've got this right though. This is a Crimson Rosella, which at some point may be split off (and I think may already have been by some) as an Adelaide Rosella. It's yellow, where the Crimson is red, but not another potential split (Yellow Rosella)...

The Adelaide Rosella is the result of interbreeding between the Crimson and Yellow Rosellas. Their ranges overlap around Adelaide. Here we have a range of colours from reddish to yellowish.

Back from a very successful trip to a friend's house down south. This is the first of several bird bath photos!!

One of the commonest parrots in Adelaide, visits gardens regularly.

Crimson Rosellas, with the blue cheeks, actually come in three colours, red, yellow, and orange where they overlap and interbreed. We get the orange ones in Adelaide.

have just moved to a new house and have wondered about a chewed looking pine tree in backyard,seems the local parrots use it as a chewing post heres one of the culprits
