I agree, it's been very bad for many.
As someone said to me, there are people worse off than I am. How true.
Anyway...............I think we agree...............it's an Adelaide Rosella.
I agree but is most unusual as the colours are very strong with borders defined like a Crimson Rosella whereas the Adelaide Rosella plumage colours are very washed out & mottled - also the head is prominently red whereas the Adelaide Rosella is yellow as most of the front

Thanks Tas, I seem to be on top of things now. Shall know for sure in the next week or two.
Oh.................did I mention the Richmond Tigers won the grand final ? 
I think you are a brave and great human being Kopes, always have thought that.
Every post I have ever seen from you (for years) is about encouraging others; offering interesting topics and suggestions that are always friendly and intelligent as well as non judgemental.
In my opinion, Community Spirit is lucky to have you here.
As for 'Richmond Tigers', I'm not into football, however, as I love cats, and tigers are cats, I'll cheer just this once for them (for you) ... 
What a beautiful bird to show us rogespeed, thank you xxx
On the subject of birds, this amazingly talented bird is something to listen to; I had no idea it could make such realistic copies.
