i know I know they are not illegal.....
They come here by air...
They hang arround at our airport and at our local shops jibber jabbering in their own language...
They invade our orchids picking fruit....
They take up all the residences stealing food from our babies mouths...
AND this morning I had to clean up the mess they made in MY garden!!!!
STOOPID Eastern Rosellas!!!:-p

Our problem is that hey are not native and are forcing our not so pretty but much quieter and less destructive 28s out.
i had one as a pet when I lived in SA, poor thing was disabled and kicked from the nest. Never grew nice feathers nor learned to fly.

They're native to Australia Chuk, but not to WA - same with kookaburras.

I hate it when they poop on my windows just after I've cleaned them.
This is rainbow lorikeets though.

I looked into having a lorikeet as a pet, but instead of 'pooping' they squirt!
Just before I moved house last yr, a bunch of these took up residence in the big gum tree on the front lawn. They were very loud and screechy in the afternoon and the car did get covered in poop (usually in the garage but with moving in and out of the drive most of the day).
Could hardly hold a conversation with another person outside, they were so loud. Never saw them before in the previous 7 yrs we lived at that house.
