great photos, palmina. eastern rosellas live in the wild here in certain parts of NZ, and many country people see them in their backyards every day. i would love to know how to attract them with food like you do with lorikeets. and you're so right, they do have quite a squawk!

Hi Camerama Thank you for the lovely comment. All I use to feed them is a Parrot mix. Lots of Grey sunflower seeds (the black ones have too much oil in them) I cut up some fruit into little bits and put it in the mix. I have a very bright serving plate that I put the food in so I don't know if the colour attracts them or not. We have a lot of Lorikeets in this area so we are very lucky.

Good luck!

Thanks Palmina - I will enjoy trying to entice them. If I have any luck you will see some photos =)

Cheers, Camerama

I wish you luck. just be patient. I think the animals can pick up that you mean them no harm. I look forward to seeing your shot's.

Regards, Palmina

Palmina, I have finally set up a bird feeder (build it and they will come)... I saw a starling using it today. There is a pair of Tuis that frequent a tree here as well... keep an eye out for some bird shots here soon!

Cheers,
