Photographs from the Emerald City
It looks like your run-of-the-mill parakeet (budgie). But usually they are indoor pets.
I have no idea...but I'm green with envy on this capture and that you actually have such beautiful birds there:)
It's the bird on the photo.
It appears to be a Scaly-breasted Lorikeet, after referring to my field guide book. They have an all-green head, and orange-red under the wing. Younger birds have a brown beak.
I was going to say that it looks like like an Indian Ring Neck parakeet. The females don't have a ring but I googled it and the eyes look different.
Kevin, sounds good, not sure I can check under his wing!Jim - I have no idea.
Dunno. I've never seen one so green before.
Cute little one! ;-)
I agree with Kevin: Scaly Breasted Lorikeet. My field guide says that the immature Rainbow Lorikeet is just a duller version of its adult.Nice looking bird ...
