Eastern Rosella

One of Australia's most colorful parrots, eastern rosellas display a vivid multicolored plumage of red, white, yellow, and blue-green across their body, inhabiting open woodlands and forests of southeastern Australia and Tasmania, and introduced to New Zealand.

Popular aviary birds globally for their striking plumage and relatively quiet, musical calls.
