Open inspection at the bird nesting box

- Several Rosellas have a close inspection of the nesting box.
We feel these have visited already but seem drawn to it.
At the moment we haven’t put any materials inside as the hot weather coming for February might be too much for more chicks at this time, but if we don’t we might well get a pair move in anyway.
So we’ll get some pyrethrum powder to mix in with some kitty litter and mulch material and put in there today.
The pyrethrum is to help keep the blasted mites that we had through the box with the last lot of chicks.
Мне бы такую, очень хочу и нужно
Где это птица?
We are in Adelaide South Australia.
Rosellas are found here in 2 main varieties and some variations, we even see hybrids with unique colours / patterns we usually don't find.
Here is Adelaide we get mostly Eastern Rosellas (Platycercus eximius), and Adelaide Rosellas (Platycercus elegans adelaidae/subadelaidae), seen in my video posts of the nesting / general videos.
Rosellas are believed to have been introduce here thousands of years ago from Africa, and now besides in this country, they can be found in New Zealand and a few other Pacific islands.
They are protected here, but I just had a search and found that native birds breed in captivity can be exported, I imagine they are expensive to obtain, but I also read that "only zoos and conservationist breeders with zoological affiliations may receive exported birds from Australia."
I see them in videos obviously produced in other countries, so who knows for sure.
Thanks for the comments, they really are beautiful birds.
