Distribution map needs to be amended. They are found further west along the Great Dividing range than the map shows with Daylesford being the western extent of its range. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.227.186 (talk) 08:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

King parrots are common in Canberra, which is hardly a humid or a heavily forested area. The second sentence of the article would need to be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.143.165.49 (talk) 03:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
[1], states on p 142: "Yellow spotted feathers on some birds are areas lacking melanin". This is a relatively "important" piece of information, because such birds look startingly different to the more "normal" variety. I have an original image of such a bird which I can contribute if this is deemed a good idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.166.99.251 (talk) 09:16, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The map
editThe range map tells a different story from the text. The map says King Parrots are only found east of Melbourne in Victoria. The text says they are found as far west as Port Campbell. That's more than 200 km away. The map on this page is probably more correct, but I guess it's not free use. HiLo48 (talk) 08:56, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- The map is indeed poorly done. I feed them on the veranda everyday in eastern central Vic.Nishidani (talk) 09:45, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
