Love to know how these names evolved, why not a green-headed parrot? Guess lots have green heads and only one a red rump ..

@caddick@dulciknit hi there, i don't know 'the fast show', i dont think it was shown in aus. looked it up on wikepedia and it must have been a great show!
@jenrobcarr I think it was called "Brilliant" in the US so may well have been renamed DownUnder too. One lady character's catch phrase was '..does my bum look big in this..?'
I love seeing all the parrot shots from down under....quakers are about the only ones seen in the wild here! Similar to the little dilute green ( but darker) in my picture at left!
