King of parrots


In amongst all of my talk of King of desserts, fruit, cheese, Spain etc I spotted a King Parrot in our garden the other day. They live on the East Coast of Australia and seem to visit Canberra during the winter where they gorge themselves on berries. They’re shy compared to a lot of birds that come into the garden (magpies, cockatoos and currawongs).

The males are mostly red with flashes of green and the females mostly green. I love seeing their flashes of colour as they fly across our garden.
