Feathery Friday*: Australian King Red Parrots


RAINBOW LORRIKEETS aside, these are my favourites from Bimbimie's...

The beautiful Australian King Red parrot. Less common than the squarking galahs and cockatoos that come in giant cackling flocks and a little bolder than lorrikeets, these red and green beauties are perhaps the most adorable parrots of all...

Here's film from someone's front porch Down Under...

Boys are apparently redder than the greener girls, which is so typical in the birdie-world where they love to stand out...





And here's an entertaining pet tame one...



***I wonder if they can talk..?***



*for "Furry Fridays ((usually) on Saturdays)

Here's a brilliant "birds in back gardens" "includes-parrots" link...

  1. Something on your blog asks for a login. It's coming from a Russian site. Is it maybe that music player?

  2. Interesting birds, parrots. I've never been much of a bird person though. I prefer them to be in the wild. I do like the furry critters though.

  3. We're very lucky to have such gorgeous things. Actually Gleds, despite their size, (about the size of a crow) they are bullied badly by lorikeets which descend en masse cheeky buggers. There's always a pair and I love that electric green flash on their wings. Pretty things indeed . . .I have two who love the carob beans in a tree just outside where I use my pc. Have a great weekend. The sun is shining here!

  5. Hi Gleds your hammies are stars*!*

    You know how I like my birds but I prefer to see them doing their tricks in the wild rather than someones centrally heated living room*!*

    I got the log in box too.

    Hope you remembered to put in for an extra Saturday and no Monday this week ;)

  6. Hi Gled,

    Pretty parrots, did you know that there is a flock of parrots that live in the L.A. area? I think their birds that had escaped from either their owners or the pet store. or a while a budgie hung out with them. Their was a special on PBS about them.

  8. Hi Gleds ~ ~ The bright parrots are lovely aren't they? So your hammies are on YouTube. Good for them and you. Thank you for your comments.
    Mother Teresa or Theresa ?? was a great humanitarian wasn't she?

  9. VINCENT: YES it was an annoying thing from that musical player that's now gone because I deleted the player's HTML. Couldn't get it to play ANYTHING bar Sugababes which got RATHER ANNOYING..!

    SYD: I love 'em. I've seen pet parrots in the wild. Amazonian tribespeople keep them on perches without cages. Theoretically they could fly off to join their cousins in the trees; they just don't want to

    BAINO: oh so they're NOT less timid like I said. so lorrikeets bully them: rainbow swines!
    I do like lorikeets' voices: very pretty as parrot voices go... but hey that's why they're called lorikeets not parrots, I spose, innit??!?

    SMACKHAPPY: I hope no-one did put in a password. I tried giving it false information and it STILL hung about. I wonder what they did with any passwords that WERE tapped into it?... couldn't help noticing as Vince said, it came from somewhere in the former SOVIET UNION!!!

  10. BIMBIMBIE: o yeah ~ Monday isn't going too well as we speak...

    JANICE: we (reportedly) have some enormous flocks in the Greater London area and they are all thought to be from escaped ring-neck parrakeets!!

    PUSS-IN-BOOTS: definitely you must ;->...

    MERLE: I think it's without a TH actually. I purposefully left off "mother" because I feel it's dodgy priests and nuns calling themselves "mother" and "father"... unChristian to me...

  15. Hello everyone!
    I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

    For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
    I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
    Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

  16. Good day, sun shines!
    There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
    I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
    Now, I feel good, I begin to get real income.
    It's all about how to choose a proper companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.

    You may get interested, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
