Crimson Rosella

Description:

The Crimson Rosella s named for its mostly crimson (red) plumage and bright blue cheeks. The feathers of the back and wing coverts are black broadly edged with red. The flight feathers of the wings have broad blue edges and the tail is blue above and pale blue below and on the outer feathers.

Habitat:

They are found in tall eucalypt and wetter forests.

Notes:

Very hard to sneak up on them. We were sitting down having a rest from walking and they came down. Didn't take long though for them to get startled and take off.
