The Turquoise Parrot (Neophema pulchella) is a smallish, but rather wonderful looking parrot that I managed to see a few months back when I was able to travel to the North Central town of Glen Rowan. It will be at least 6 weeks before I can make a similar journey.
I was given some information about where I may be able to find the birds, and spent a good part of two days at this spot! I manged to get some good views - although some of them were near the end of the day when the light was fading.
But as you can see, I did manage to get some pictures. Hope you enjoy this rather wonderful bird.

Really cool little parrot 🦜 Stewart
ReplyDeleteThe variety of parrot species in Australia is fascinating and wonderful. There are no native parrots here, just some that have become part of us. I'm not using the right scientific explanation but I hope all understand what I'm saying.
ReplyDeleteNow this is a Parrot I have not seen in Australia An unusual colour and lovely shots of it Stewart. Thanks for hosting, stat safe and have a good week ahead
ReplyDeleteStunning little bird, wow it is so pretty, well done for getting these great photos and thanks for sharing them with us all.
ReplyDeleteI hope that things are improving over there. We are far more relaxed here though masks still have to be worn everywhere inside. Restaurants are open again with both inside and outside seating now permitted. The inside dining proviso, law from 1 August, is that you must show ID and a “pass sanitaire”, a health pass which is a government certificate sent to your phone. That has a QR code which the restaurant can scan. I have now had 3 vaccines while Nigel is only due his third one in November (he is younger than me!). Keep safe cheers Diane
Not heard of this one before. What a beauty.

What spectacular colours in this little bird!
ReplyDeleteOver the past few weeks you have depleted every color on your palette!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy seeing this wonderful bird. Your photos of them are excellent.
ReplyDeleteEven among parrots where gorgeous is the default condition, it is beautiful. My friend in Canberra had a couple in her backyard believe it or not, and she has the pictures to prove it.
ReplyDeleteFormidable mimicry with grass! This blue is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon dear friend.
This bird reminds me of my beach chair, Stewart!! Hope the "bird doesn't have to be alive for me to link in...jp
