Description
This is the Eastern Rose Parrot
Description:

The Eastern Rosella is also known as the Rosella, the White Cheeked Rosella, or the Rosella Parakeet. It can be distinguished by its red head and white cheek patches. With recorded sightings as early as the 1790s, they are found throughout eastern and southern Australia and eastern Tasmania. They were introduced into New Zealand in the early 1900s.

Habitat
These brightly coloured parrots are found in open woodlands, grasslands, and remnant bushland. They will happily venture into urban areas as long as food is available.

Feeding
Predominantly a ground feeder, it will seek out seeds and small insects. They are known to feed in trees as they look for seeds, fruits, buds, flowers, and nectar. They will wander locally in search of seasonal food sources.When eating either on the ground or perched in a tree, they usually hold the food by their right foot.

Behaviour
In the wild, they are usually in pairs or small groups feeding or flying in small flocks. Their flight is undulating and close to the ground. They will glide upward into trees and fan their tails as they land. They are not timid and often allow people to approach close enough to admire their beautiful feathers.
