This page is a re-direct from Golden-mantled Rosella. Are they the same species? If so, could someone who has a reference add it in.82.34.217.95 (talk) 17:11, 26 September 2009 (UTC) Sorry, I just read the article in more detail and found the info.82.34.217.95 (talk) 17:12, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Picture of the day

A male (top) and female eastern rosella (Platycercus eximius). These rosellas, which average 30 cm (12 in) in length, are native to southeastern Australia and Tasmania. The species, first described by George Shaw in 1792, is sometimes considered a subspecies of the pale-headed rosella; the two hybridize where their ranges meet.Photograph: JJ Harrison

This is an Australian bird, an attractive visitor to our garden - but most of the article is about appearances it has made in NZ.Gilda18 (talk) 23:19, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I found that very irritating. There's no mention of Victoria, for example, where the subject of this article is widespread. Also there's no map. 😐 Melba1 (talk) 02:48, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
