The swift parrot (Lathamus discolor) breeds in Tasmania and migrates north to south eastern Australia from Griffith-Warialda in New South Wales and west to Adelaide in the winter. It is related to the rosellas, with the feeding habits of a lorikeet. It is the only member in the genus Lathamus.
There was estimated to be fewer than 2000 mature individuals remaining in the wild as of 2011. In 2014, researchers from the Australian National University modelled that the species may face extinction by 2031 due to predation and loss of habitat,the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) upgraded the status of the swift parrot from endangered to critically endangered in October 2015 based on results from the study. {information from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift_parrot)
I spent yesterday in London as my best friend's son, Richard, was running his first London Marathon. It was a fabulous day and I took hundreds of photo's of runners. Richard did it in 3hrs 51 mins, which was a brilliant time, and considering the heat, the hottest recorded at the April run.
My runner shots were not the best, I am not good at "sports" but I did manage a few good shots of the very friendly parakeets that now reside in St James's Park.

The mulga parrot (Psephotellus varius) is endemic to arid scrublands and lightly timbered grasslands in the interior of southern Australia. The male mulga parrot is multicolored, from which the older common name of many-coloured parrot is derived.

Parrot tulips are known for their large petals with bright colors that are capriciously shaped and distinctively colored.
The "Rococo" tulip is a velvety red tulip with accents of purple, yellow and green. Yes, the large flowers always have green spots somewhere.
It is still flowering in a pot in my conservatory, but I will soon move it into a bed and hope that it will come back next year.
Papageientulpe 'Roccoco' (Tulipa x Hybrida 'Rococo')
Papageientulpen sind bekannt für ihre großen Blütenblätter mit leuchtenden Farben, die kapriziös geformt und apart gefärbt sind.
Die Tulpe "Rococo" ist eine samtig-rote Edeltulpe mit Akzenten in Lila, Gelb und Grün. Ja, die großen Blüten haben immer irgendwo grüne Flecken.
Noch blüht sie im Topf bei mir im Wintergarten, aber bald werde ich sie ins Beet bringen und hoffe, dass sie nächstes Jahr wiederkommt.
I met this Parrot at our local beach cafe. We had taken our dog for a walk down the beach and the couple at the next table had taken their parrot for a walk too. It definitely seemed to be enjoying himself, he had an awful lot to say.

this beautiful smile from one of my Parrot Tulips
Took a trip to the Parrot Zoo near Boston UK. There was a cage you could walk into to be with the birds. It was a relief to be able to capture them without all the fencing in the way.

The Red-rumped Parrot female was not deterred by the size of this pair of ducks and successfully chased them away.
This crimson rosella (platycercus elegans) perched on B's head just long enough for a portrait. Shot at a roadside stop not too far from Melbourne.
