Pale Headed Rosella

We haven't seen the pale headed rosellas for a couple of months so we were very hsppy to see the pair of them at the seed tray for a few minutes. Just long enough for a few pics before the lorikeets chased them off.

[Trudi]

I've never seen one like this, it looks a bit like a budgie! Nice capture:)

[Denise Wood]

Same as Trudi, I've not seen these either! Glad you captured it :)

[Poppo Livy]

@trudi Much bigger than a budgie Trudi. In fact it is a bit larger than a Rainbow Lorikeet. But they are very timid and are at the bottom of the pecking order when it comes to confrontations with other birds.

[Graham Thresher]

A fantastic capture and a Fav

[Kane Arlow]

We don't have those down here. It does look like a Rosella got busy with a budgie. It's very pretty.

[Emilie Cartoun]

Wow, what a fabulous birdie.I've never seen one of these.

[CINDY JOHNSON]

so pretty, amazing bird

[Babs]

Beautiful shot. We don't get them this far down the coast. Only get the Eastern Rosellas. Little buggers the lorikeets aren't they.

[Tessa]

Great capture of a cute little fella

[Janette]

So elusive up here, Ive been trying to capture one for a while. This is brilliant, well done.

[Lisa Poland]

[Shirley Banford]

[Ann]

The pale headeds occur in the north east of oz and are replaced by their cousins, the Eastern Rosella in the south east. The Eastern Rosella is a much more striking looking bird

[Natalie]

I have never seen one Poppo. Nice capture

[sally agnew]

Pretty bird poppa, have not seen these little chaps :-)

[Islandgirl]

Lovely colorful bird..............haven't seen one of these before!!
Great find.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Love the delicate blues and yellows of this bird. Happy to hear they've made a return to your yard despite the lorikeets' lack of hospitality.

Whatever is set to keep you extra busy, I hope it's an enjoyable task/experience. No worries about comments and whatnot.

Fantastic shot Poppo...

[Candace]

Gorgeous!

[Poppo Livy]

@nataliejohnson22 @hermann I'm quite surprised that you guys haven't seen these. They aren't rare.

[Poppo Livy]

@radiogirl @tellefella @ribbet9 Thanks guys

[Poppo Livy]

@lyndemc We are driving down to Sydney on Saturday to see the new grand daughter and I have a million things to do before we leave. Oh, thanks for having a look.

[Rick Schies]

Their colorings are just like the parakeets we used to raise

[Ron]

You certainly do get a variety of beautiful birds. I get crows. Big, ugly, mean, nasty, colorless crows. I'm living vicariously through your birds.

[Lee-Ann]

Beautiful bird....I saw lots of these birds at Innot Hot Springs
