My Peachie was another dream bird of mine. When I was a school kid, just about every classroom I was ever in had this poster up on the wall, and the black cockatoos and lorikeets fascinated me. But I found the princess parrots particularly beautiful and I'd stare at them for hours, never dreaming I'd be lucky enough have one of my own one day!!

Oh and there's a "Lilly" and a "Lovejoy" together way down the bottom too

What beauties you’ve had! Dream birdies for sure.

I have indeed been very blessed! Here's the one that I'll probably never achieve though, the pale headed rosella. They are absolutely drop dead gorgeous, and we often get them foraging for seed pods in the shrubs that grow outside the windows of our bird room. They're comfortable enough peering through the windows at my birds, but they're very flighty and take off the moment they see me! I did manage to get some video of them searching for food on our (rather overgrown) front lawn once though - the squawking you hear is Lilly biting me on the neck for having the audacity to video somebirdy other than her!!

Beautiful! I saw a rosella in Tasmania, but it was too far up in a tree, and I couldn’t get a great look at it to see what kind. We went looking for Swift Parrots too on Bruny Island, but no luck.

Could've been a green rosella, they're native to Tassie and they are absolutely gorgeous!
