Other birds that visit me from time to time are the grey and pink Galahs, Eastern Rosellas and Crimson Rosellas - all very colourful and very welcome.

The grey and pink Galahs don't come here often but when they do they certainly make themselves at home !






The Crimson Rosellas are very timid birds all too inclined to fly off when they see you coming towards them - unlike the lorikeets. Called Crimson Rosellas for obvious reasons, the young birds are green in colour until they gain their adult plumage and with the red and blue showing through the green feathers, they can look a little motheaten for a while.




The Eastern Rosella is even more timid than the Crimson Rosella and so far the only photos I have of them are not very good. I am hoping to change that soon.



A few years ago, one of the Crimson Rosellas paired up with an Eastern one and the pair were inseparable right through the summer. This was the only summer I saw them together and I often wonder what became of them.
