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.
