The Green Rosella is a stunning Parrot that is endemic to Tasmania. I filmed these on our trip to the Apple isle in 2021, along with around 70 other species. I will make a documentary when I get a chance.
Thankfully, these Parrots are thriving and we encountered them daily across the beautiful state.
This from Birdlife:
The Green Rosella is Australia's largest rosella. It is a medium-sized parrot with a broad tail. The upperparts are dark, mottled green and black, in contrast with the yellow head, neck and underbody. When flying the bright yellow body is very obvious. There are distinct blue cheek patches, a red band across the forehead, and blue shoulder patches. Females are slightly duller, while juveniles are mainly green. Their flight is strong and swift with only slight undulations. Also called the Tasmanian Rosella, or Yellow-bellied, Mountain or Green Parrot.
