    Rosellas are so beautiful and I especially like the first photo of the bird walking across the grass. I don't get them around my house at all although I know Pale-headed Rosellas are in the district.

    I am just wondering what camera you use that can zoom so far to catch a photo of a bird. Is it an automatic compact or DSLR ? or is the bird caged ?

    Lovely photos, very pretty colours. Pity we don't have them in New Zealand, sure we have some small parrots but they are not at all common.

    It's amazing these birds are so wild and free. The top one looks so much like a budgie bird I used to own a while back.
    Incredible colors. Beautiful!

    Gorgeous Rosellas. I love their tinkling call so different from the Lorikeets. We have here mainly the pale headed R.

    What gorgeous, colourful birds. I am looking at our rather dull blue, great and coal tits, dull by comparison, yet I love them too.
