I’m going to go out on a very short limb and posit that we were the only BooTribbers that awoke this morning to a yard full of these parrots.
The sun hadn’t hit cleared the ridge to the east of us, so the photo are very thin.
The Green Rosella is a Tasmanian endemic species. If you want to see them, you have to come to Tasmania.
These remind me of the green parakeets in Austin, TX (I think maybe they are Monk parakeets? Your Rosellas are beautiful.
I googled “austin” and “parakeets” and found that there is indeed a feral population of monk parakeets (aka Quaker parrots) living there. Rosellas are about twice as big as Quakers.
If you get the chance, I suggest checking out the video “The parrots of Telegraph Hill”. It’s about a feral population of Cherry-headed conures in San Francisco, and the man who takes care of them.
These, otoh, are “as cheap as chips” (Australian for ‘very common’).
You can find Sulfur Crested cockatoos in most of Australia. These trees are on the back portion of our property. I can see them from the house, but they are a long way off.
A flock of about 15 has been resting there over-night the last few days. I suspect some of the trees from which they eat nectar are in flower.
Add one small child.
Too perfectly adorable mopheads. 🙂

These are just such cute pics I don’t know what to say.
Your yard must be a very noisy place with parrots and cockatoos gathering like that.
Yep, you can always tell when the big birds are here. And even when they are not, some bird or another is always chirping, churring, or chittering away. Of course the volume title goes to the Laughing Kookaburra (at the bottom of the menu bar on the left is a sound byte).
Oh, the Awww factor emerges again.
But since the ducks clearly weren’t interested, it became goose, goose, dog instead.

What do you think Sniff is thinking about?
Why is it so freaking hard to get rid of the damn puppy!?!
No critter is quite so selflessly long-suffering as the dog. I can hear the mental sigh from here.
It’s because no one has ever fed them anything ever. Really. Never ever.
They’re air plants, otherwise they would have wasted away long, long ago.
And balancing on just two feet!
Perpetual motion is not a myth.
The Dog Whisperer just had a show about a vicious basset hound and this is Hopey watching as Cesar corrected him.
I figured Hopey would go pull the plug on the TV so you wouldn’t get any ideas.
Wait … vicious basset hound?!?
yes, a vicious basset hound. He would tear the heads off of any other dog who tried to come near him or his owner lady.
