Crimson Rosella

Rosellas are beautiful birds and relatively common around our place. Of course their fame in Australia comes from having tomato sauce named after them…

Crimson Rosella

They are a pretty common sight around our place. I still need to add a “water bowl” video , but a still photo is here. Mind you, Linda, when you mention Rosella around here, some people still associate it with tomato sauce…

yeah… I know, it’s the Eastern Rosella, not the Crimson relative.

Colour Contrast

Another standoff at the water bowl. This time between the colourful Crimson Rosella and a bird I have yet to identify, perhaps an immature Oriole ( see yesterday’s birds)?

Update: the bird on the right is a moulting male Satin Bowerbird, see this post.
