Princess Parrot

Polytelis alexandrae

Description:

The elegant Princess Parrot (Polytelis alexandrae) originates from Central and Western Australia and today, is rarely seen in the wild.

Habitat:

The Princess of Wales Parakeet is often described as gentle and relatively quiet - compared to some of the larger parrots. However they are capable of producing considerable amounts of noise, and may not be suitable for all households. The Princess of Wales Parakeet is quite intelligent and some will even talk and mimic whistles.

Notes:

I have seen this bird in a park together with King Parrot.. I believe it was an escaped bird..
