Australian Eastern Rosella. A medium sized, distinctively coloured, broad tailed parrot. It has a crimson head and upper breast, white throat and cheeks, and bright greenish yellow under parts. Often in groups its flight is deeply undulating. It has a high pitched “pink pink” voice in flight, with a slow mellow piping “pee-peeee” elsewhere. Often associated with man it lives in gardens, parks, crops and open woodlands. During winter they congregate in flocks of eight to twenty birds, but in early spring pairs leave to set.
