Description
By request.Western Rosella (Female) - Platycercus icterotis
Male: Red head, chest and belly, yellow cheeks, green and blue wings.
Female: green head, red/green chest and belly, green and blue wings. BreedsWinter-Spring.
These birds visit our garden for most of the year, but so far I have been unable to photograph a male. This was taken through the kitchen window, but they are mostly found down by the veggie patch where there are several grevillea shrubs.
They are the smallest of the Rosellas and their habitat is open forsts, woodlands, farmland and gardens in the South West corner of Western Australia.

Thank you very much. It is such a shame that this shrub died this year. I will have to replace it as many birds love it.

How cute. We don't have birds like this where I am from. They are duller in color.

You are. We have some colorful birds here in Maryland, but not as many as Australia.
