Mallee Ringneck Parrots


Australia has many very colourful birds, especially in our parrots. One of those beautiful birds has to be the Australian Ringneck parrot. This species has several sub-species, including the Mallee Ringneck shown in the photos on this post.

This parrot is a resident breeding species in our garden. We see 4 - 6 of these beautiful birds on a daily basis as they feed in the garden of nearby paddocks and mallee scrub. They are also daily visitors to our bird baths during our hot, dry summers.

You can read more about Australian birds on my other blog called Trevor's Birding.
