The Crimson Rosella (Platycercus elegans) is a parrot native to eastern and south eastern Australia which has been introduced to New Zealand and Norfolk Island. It is commonly found in, but not restricted to, mountain forests and gardens.
These dramatic and beautiful birds are easily seen within their large range in Eastern Australia. From Brisbane, it’s as easy as a drive to Jolly’s Lookout and the cafe nearby, a visit to Girraween or O’Reilly’s.
