This is a lovely footage. Which part of Aus do you live? Queensland or NSW- is this the nominate subspecies??

@Arachloroptera Hi I live on the western side of Lake Macquarie NSW very close to the foothills of the Wattagan Mountains a Large Spure of Mountain Range conected to the Blue Mountains I'm 10 mins walk from very heavy Bushland .. as Far as i know the eastern Rosella isn't a Subspecies, ie a mixtured of Cross Breeding Cheers: )

@nastyolddog - Hi A Subspecies is not a hybrid- which is what you are referring to. It is a geographical variation. ! cheers

Why don't you just put a nesting box at the spot where they are trying to peck holes in your house?

[blast4music]

male easterns are known to peck a females eyes out etc if they dont come to the party

[Larzabeth]

You are very fortunate to have such beauty. They do not even look real with their vivid colors. I am looking forward to your up coming videos.

Yes i know In my area we are Blessed with such colorful birds of many varities these birds and many more i see in large focks on my morning walk with my dog it's not unusual for me to see Rosellas in a flock of about 30 or 40 feeding on the grass seeds at our local ovals and park lands and many other species of Parrots and Gallars or them just flying around the sky screaming like banshees can hear them comeing B4 U can C them very spectacular indeed i will try & get some clips 2 post up soon
