![]() ![]() Relatively quiet for a parrot, you sometimes won’t even realise they are there until they take flight. When feeding, they will seek out seeds, nuts, berries, blossoms, and insects. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks, the red-winged parrot is slightly bigger than a rosella. Mostly a lime green, with black wingtips and undertail, the scarlet feathers of their wings are sure to catch your eye when they take flight. Sometimes referred to as a king parrot, these beautiful birds are bright and colourful, seeming almost to glow in the sunlight. They are unlikely to come too close to people but are wonderful to admire from afar. Their diet mostly consists of seeds, fruits, flower buds, and nectar, so they are as likely to be seen in the treetops as they are on the ground. They have a red head and neck, a yellow-green body and tail, and bright blues wings, complemented by notable black markings. The whistling sound is caused by air passing over their unique primary feathers - fascinating for visitors who’ve never heard it before.Ī visitor favourite, the Eastern rosella is one of the most colourful birds in our trees. Timider than galahs, these birds will take to the air with a characteristic whistling flight when startled. Watch their tails they swing them high in the air when landing, and the males will even fan them out like a peacock if they see a lovely lady.Ĭrested Pigeons typically travel in small groups, but will also be seen individually or in pairs. ![]() The wings are decorated with green and purple patches and distinct black stripes. ![]() They’re friendly birds, so enjoy the show!įairly common throughout mainland Australia, the crested pigeon is a stocky grey-brown bird with a thin black crest. ![]() We have a few bird-feeders throughout the park, which create great places for birdwatching. Galahs are, in fact, rather intelligent birds, who remember the best feeding spots and will return to them again. They form noisy flocks when feeding, and will often be seen hanging from trees in search of seeds or gathering on the ground for grasses. Recognised by their grey wings, pink head and underbelly, and pale pink crown, there is a reason that the name ‘galah’ is used in Aussie slang to mean a loud-mouthed (but loveable) doofus. More typically known as galahs, these iconic birds come to Moore Park in droves.
