Crimson Rosella - Platycercus elegans

East Doncaster: 2017: January.
Templestowe: 2017: January.
Heritage Wetlands, Wonga Park: 2017: January.
Notes:
The two above are adults, with one, presumably the male, feeding the other, presumably the female, just a couple of minutes earlier than the image above was taken.
Young birds are green, with the one above just gaining adult plumage. It's eating the gall on a eucalypt leaf.
This one was eating the green berries of a hawthorn.
