There's lots of these nesting in the Pilbara at the moment.

Cheers Reverend.

Are they wild birds? The colours of this one are great.

Another great shot and, as Billi said, the colours really jump out. It's nice to know they are about and breeding, they are one bird I too rarely see in the wild. Mind you, if you see one you often see hundreds. I recall hearing that the wild birds are only about half the size of the captive population - selective breeding in action. Apparently they can also cover huge distances, cruising at about 80kmh. Given where they live, I suppose they have to.

Good shot ! David attenbourough style ,,

That brings back many great memories, I recall seeing massive flocks of these from the Pilbara to NW Qld, they are often a good indicator of where water can be found.

Cheers for the pic.

They sure are Billi. They only come in green in the wild.
Thanks everyone.

Cheers Reverend.
