One from a few weeks ago. This is a stunning parrot found in taller forests along the south east coast. Thanks for looking, Greg.

Beautiful looking male King. Used to have a pair of these that came to our backyard when living in Sydney.

That's a massive tail. You've got some great birds in your continent. Outstanding photos, Greg.
