SPOTTED: Eastern Rosellas 🦜

A flash of red, yellow and green in the trees? You may have spotted an Eastern Rosella!

🌿 These colourful parrots are easy to recognise with their bright red head, neck and chest, white cheek patches, and vibrant yellow-green feathers.

🌾 Often seen feeding on grass seeds in small groups or perched in open trees, Eastern Rosellas are a beautiful reminder of the wildlife that calls the National Triangle home.
