Eastern Rosellas Male and Female Splashing in a Birdbath

Male and female Eastern Rosellas (Platycercus eximius) love to have a drink and a splash on a hot day.
The birdbath has a branch in the water and this perch makes the birdbath more inviting to birds.
These rosellas are the subspecies Platycercus eximius elecica. They are also called the Golden-mantled Rosella.

Eastern rosellas are beautiful birds

[@MoreliaAustralia]

yes. They are nice. We have many different types of birds here. One of them that I really like is the Scarlet honeyeater. I'll put a link here to one of my playlists. ua-cam.com/play/PLy1yOsNCtsxNZUNT4RnzctZqvIGV8JDIQ.html

Have you seen my bird play list? ua-cam.com/play/PLy1yOsNCtsxNpY6z8T35MFn7RRBrYyTIw.html

Yes I have, great. The Easterns are the subspecies, Golden Mantles, very nice.

[@MoreliaAustralia]

I just looked up about Golden Mantles. I have never heard of that name for these birds before. Do you have many birds at your place? I have made nest boxes for wild rosellas and they use them each year. They are fairly shy birds. They like to eat Macadamia flowers and also dandelion and flatweed flowers.
