Eastern Rosella

These photos taken at home. Heard the chattering of rosellas landing on the guttering; had my camera nearby, and slid open a window. Moments later this female rosella flew across to the wintering crepe-myrtle tree to feed on the dried seed-pods. Just a lesser colour intensity than the male that'd visited for a mid May blog post this year.

    Nice photos of the Rosella. They are pretty birds. None close around my place but there are some just a little inland from here.

    Lovely to see these brightly coloured feathered friends against the stark of winter's skeleton trees.

    What a beautiful bird! Here in the States we have to go to the pet store to see a bird like that.

    Hi there - its a tomato sauce rosella! Nice pictures. I find these birds a little bit thin on the ground down here. I see them every so often, but I have only managed to get pictures once.

    Well done.

    The rosellas are both divine... but I think I like this paler female version just a titch better.

    This is such a lovely bird. I love the colors. It's indeed less intense than the male rosella in your other blog post but still so colorfull. Wish I could see one around my house.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
