Observed clinging to a bird feeder , at the extreme of my old digital camera, i thought at first was a Crimson Rosella by the blue cheek but the red is more lighter Eastern Rosella sort of red ( where here there are quite a few in the woodland ) and the yellow band lower front .. maybe a Lorikeet of some description ?
can anyone identify ?

Where do you live?
Is it possibly an Adelaide Rosella?

A clearer pic would've been nice, but birdies don't like to say cheese.
I'm doing OK thanks Kopes. Hoping you're also well these days.
Speaking of cheese, I was watching a show on SBS. A Scandinavian show, and they put cheese in their coffee!
Ewwww
It's a real thing...google it.

Does seem to be an Adelaide Rosella - although more solidly coloured - seems the Adelaide Rosella as depicted above is quite mottled , so maybe a nothern Victorian variant ?
