As I have indicated previously I only feed the parrots when asked and this has not been often due to a recent abundance of food following the rain. The trees and planting in our garden provide a variety of natural seed sources. But “asking” consists of King Parrots squawking at the back door or Rosellas who will sometimes feed from your hand. The parrots were hungry this week, it was the King Parrots who did the asking but before long it was Galahs who took control of the seed bowl.
King Parrots are not backward when it comes to asking for food and their approach indicates that they are used to being fed around the village.
But is not long before the Galahs arrive.
And Crimson Rosellas, this bird showing a beautiful mix of colours as it gains its adult colouring.
The Galahs take over and the other birds leave!
Another variation on the Crimson Rosella ‘transition to adult” colouring.
