Superb Parrot

Walking the beat this morning I was lucky to come across a non usual suspect parrot, happily feeding on grass seed. As many Canberrans have recently sighted Superb Parrots, it was not too hard to figure this one out. Unfortunately this superb Superb did not find me nearly as captivating as I found it, immediately outmaneuvering me in the direction of old growth eucalyptus, with this photo the only evidence.


It's a stunning parrot huh?

    Nice of him to stay feeding on the fence at all. We've been seeing quite a few in the central west this year too, they're superb to see of course.

    This one flew off fast but I was able to get close to another that was much more patient.
