King Parrots

I have never noticed the blue feathers at the top of the tail before. 

These Australian King Parrots come to peck around in my backyard. We put out some native bird seed, but they also arrive after we do some pruning - looking for grubs and worms.

These are all females, with green upper breasts and heads. Males are scarlet. They get about in parties and small flocks, mainly green.

They are often in company with Crimson Rosellas, which are more timid and fly away more readily.
