    King Parrots are just the best, so beautiful and tame. They are always hanging about at the block waiting of us to bring out feed. The Rosellas come in for a feed but take fright at the smallest movement.

      So true, Joan. When the King Parrots are in, they won't let the Rosellas get a beaks in.

    For some reason we have few birds here in North America that have brilliant colors like those. I don't know if it's that birds from temperate areas have duller colors. I haven't a clue. We have a few...but not many.

      I don't know why that is either. Australia is certainly home to a few colourful birds, though not as many as in the tropics. Maybe it does have something to do with climate.
