    We have been very lucky to have a dozen or so of these Beautiful little Parrots on our local patch for the last week or so. These are quite rare , breeding in Tasmania and spending winter mainly in the lower parts of Eastern Australia

    The beautiful Swift Parrot. Unfortunately they're endangered but it felt good to see a big flock of them flying around.

    Not all Swift Parrot shows 'forked' tail like this individual. A very gregarious and vocal parrot. Also see my blog http://caperteevalley20050821.blogspot.com/

    Nicknamed 'Swiftie' or Sweetie. This is one of the most sought after birds in Australia. A strange parrot species that migrates from Tasmania to mainlaind Australia during austral winter.
