Some of my friends live in our yard, others visit it, still others live elsewhere and I visit them. Come and read about all my feathered friends...

UNSURE…

I am not quite sure about this little fellow. When I first spotted it up in the privet tree, I assumed it was a parrot, but was uncertain as to the variety.

Then, I was wondering - perhaps it was a baby rainbow lorikeet? But they generally have blue heads, not red - so it must have been a parrot of some sort.

Whatever it was, it soon flew to the Hills Hoist, ignored the seeds I threw down - which were hastily devoured by a few of our pigeon flock who had been hanging about the yard, and flew off after staying for a further five minutes on the washing hoist!

That appears to be an Eastern Rosella. Blue wings, yellow breast, red head. It's not a great photo but i'm pretty sure that's what it is.
