Platycercus icterotis

Western Rosella


Western Rosellas, man they fascinate me.. There’s the Southwest coastal green-backed Westerns down Albany way, move inland & you get reds & rarer, black-backed.
And closer to Perth & those feathers are blue;
But like so many Australian wild birds, it’s all almost completely undocumented!
a colorful parrot native to southwestern Australia. It has a distinctive yellow head and breast, a blue back and wings, and a red belly.
