Swift Parrot (Lathamus discolor)

This parrot is wet from fluttering though the wet leaves on nearby trees. Apparently this behaviour is part of their preening process - they get all wet then perch and preen their feathers. It was reported that some Crimson and Eastern Rosellas who don't normally display such behaviour were mimicking the visitors' actions.
