Eastern Rosella

The Eastern Rosella (Platycercus eximius) is a rosella native to southeastern Australia and Tasmania. The species is found in lightly wooded country, open forests, woodlands, gardens, bushlands, and parks. Although summer might be used if necessary, eastern rosellas typically breed in the spring. The range is 2 to 9 eggs. In the wild, their breeding depression is 30 meters (98 feet) up a tree, 1 meter (3 feet) deep. The primary indication that eastern rosellas would be reproducing is that they feed one another.

Eastern rosellas measure 30 centimeters in length. It has white cheeks and a redhead. The irises are brown, and the beak is white. The lower breast is yellow, fading to a faint green color over the belly, while the upper breast is red. The scalloped look of the black back and shoulder feathers, which vary slightly between subspecies and sexes, is caused by their yellowish or greenish borders. The tail is dark green, while the wings and lateral tail feathers are bluish. They have gray legs. The female is identical to the male but has duller coloring and an underwing stripe that the adult male lacks. Young birds have an underwing stripe and are duller than females.
