Australian Red-rumped Parrot

Red-rumped parrot

The Australian Red-rumped Parrot is a common bird around my district here in rural South Australia. The bird shown in today's photo is a male; the female is not quite as colourful. Unfortunately, this photo does not show the bright red feathers which give this species its name.

This photo was taken at the Riverglades Wetlands area near Murray Bridge, South Australia.
