The part about them thinking your leg was a tree is extremely frightening!

Barnardius barnardi/Mallee Ringneck

sophiamarini · 1/9/10

Cacatua tenuirostris/Slender-Billed Corella

I used to have one of these - quite a character!
I love this thread!! Wish I got on board earlier, this is one of the reasons I love being an Aussie - look what we have in our backyard!!!!!

How big is that?!

Are we done, any parrots we missed?

Do sub-species count?

Trichoglossus haematodus haematodus / Green-naped Lorikeet

I'm so sorry I missed the parrot bit way back there at the start... :o:

Just to make up for it, a personal favourite - but maybe not by the rules either:

No scientific name (that I know of anyway!), Galah Eolophus roseicapilla X Little Corella :heart:

Cacatua sanguinea

We call these guys Garellas. I don't know what other names they go by.

I have seen a couple of these and they are drop dead gorgeous. They DO occur in the wild but I presume they would be sterile. The ones I have met are also very sweet, super gentle birds....

Great thread.

We have so many little grass keets don't we? I love Australia for its wildlife.

Psephotus chrysopterygius/Golden-shouldered Parrot

Not quite as striking as it's cousin, the hooded, and rarer in captivity probably for the very same reason....

Wow..missed him. He is fantastic too. So many gorgeous birds. Bird watching in your country would be a delight!

Stevo · 1/10/10

There are still 2 species missing!! I'll post them up tomorrow unless someone beats me to it.............

Ah cmon Guys! I want to have fun here too! So I will just squeak in with my vote: One that I got to see and film only once at Cape Leeuwin, in Southwestern corner of Western Aus... Here is the habitat can you guess which one we left out?

Yep its that parrot that thinks its a seabird!

Let's hear it for this gorgeous little neophema!
