Jim Howard-Birt 🐦📸: Photos@parrotoftheday what a beautiful bird.
@JimsPhotos Yes, lovely and also very confiding (some might say "nosy"). Often the first bird you hear and see when you walk into a patch of bush in our part of the world because they come down to check you out!
@parrotoftheday I love the soft colours. It looks quite small maybe the size of a robin?
@JimsPhotos Yes, quite small and usually on the move, swinging its tail around constantly. Adults develop a more grey and white overall plumage with a prominent white brow and throat but still a soft beige or tan breast and belly
@parrotoftheday Thanks. I appreciate the additional info (not that I am likely to ever see one)
