Crimson Rosella : Platycercus elegans
There are several colour forms of the Crimson Rosella. The mostly crimson plumage and bright blue cheeks easily identify the one from which it receives its name. The feathers of the back and wing coverts are black broadly edged with red. The flight feathers of the wings have broad blue edges and the tail is blue above and pale blue below and on the outer feathers. Young Crimson Rosellas have the characteristic blue cheeks, but the remainder of the body plumage is green-olive to yellowish olive (occasionally red in some areas). The young bird gradually attains the adult plumage over a period of 15 months.
