Australian Ringneck : Off I go . . .
This image is included in 3 galleries :- 1) "Juillet 2020 suite" curated by Impatience_1, 2) "Oiseaux en vol...# 3" also by Impatience_1 and 3) "Perroquets ou autres 16" by Yvonne Yvonne.
Australian ringneck, the broad-tailed parrot species Barnardius zonarius, is a bird native to Australia. Except for extreme tropical and highland areas, the species has adapted to all conditions. Treatments of genus Barnardius have previously recognised two species, the Port Lincoln parrot and the mallee ringneck, but due to these readily interbreeding at the contact zone they are usually regarded as a single species B. zonarius with subspecific descriptions. Currently, four subspecies are recognised, each with a distinct range. The subspecies in Western Australia is often referred to as the ‘Twenty-eight Parrot’ because its contact call is usually rendered as twenty-eight, with the call (and the name) is unknown in other parts of Australia.
Took this one at Wave Rock Motel, Hyden, before visiting Wave Rock. Before the sun is up, parrots and other birds are twittering and chatting away...
