Pale-headed Rosella

Location: Carnarvon Gorge, Central Qld


These were a delight to see

Birds in Backyards fact sheet on the Pale-headed Rosella is here


not quite as flamboyant as their cousins in N.S.W.  A pair of  Eastern Rosellas, at home.

The Pale-headed Rosella has such an unusual combination of colours. My goodness you have so many different parrots in your part of the world Carole.

Photo 3 is my favorite.
I wish you a very nice weekend.

Hello Carole, your Pale-headed Rosella is a beautiful bird. I love your colorful Eastern Rosellas too. Great sighting and lovely. Thanks for linking up with my critter party. Have a happy weekend!

So colourful and some really great pictures you share.

We have them too, but as you probably know, they are very shy and often heard before you actually see them.
I think they are more beautiful than their red cousins :)

Delightful captures Carole. I love the pale yellow with that steel blue and the little smidgen of red.

It blows my mind that you get to see all these wonderful parrots simply be going outside the door.
