The Eastern Rosella - platycercus eximius - is found throughout south-eastern Australia, in open woodlands, grasslands, farmlands and remnant bushland. The Eastern Rosella mainly feeds on the ground, especially amongst grasses in lawns, pastures and other clearings. Also feeds in trees and bushes. Main dietary items include: seeds, fruits, buds, flowers, nectar and insects. Crimson Rosellas - platycercus elegans - are normally encountered in small flocks and are easily attracted to garden seed trays. Once familiar with humans, they will accept hand held food. Natural foods include seeds of eucalypts, grasses and shrubs, as well as insects and some tree blossoms. Visit WWW.STOCKSHOT.NL for highres version or broadcast video footage.
