Can anyone tell me how to tell an Eastern Rosella from a Golden-mantled? Pictures would be awesome from someone who is personally familiar with them!
Online info seems vague, and pictures often mislabeled the wrong species, never mind which subspecies.
I am also wondering if perhaps in captivity Easterns & Golden-mantles are often crossed... perhaps the distinction has been lost outside wild Australia.
