CRIMSON ROSELLA                                         
Platycercus elegans 33 cm

·         The Crimson Rosella is endemic to forests and woodlands of eastern Australia.

·         In north Queensland it is a scarce resident of upland rainforests.  Unlike southern populations, there is no distinctive immature plumage.

·         Food is mainly seeds, obtained from a great variety of plants, including herbs and tall trees.

·         Like other rosellas, adults form permanent pairs that maintain close contact all year.  These pairs and their young may form small groups.

·    The loudest call is a brassy ‘kweek kweek’.

·    It is easiest to observe while feeding on the ground in open areas.

·         Small flocks are observed regularly round Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodge .
