Notes:
A colourful, but noisy, species of the parrot family which has expanded it's numbers and range in Melbourne. They often call in flight. They are adaptive and have learnt to eat the green small cones on an introduced conifer we have in the garden.
Pairs mutually preen.
They often screech in flight!
