PSITTACIFORMES: Psittacidae

Trichoglossus haematodus  

In the afternoon at the Noosa Northshore camp grounds many of these colourful birds can be found harassing the many campers that stay here for holidays.

They may even be a little too friendly. While walking up to the restrooms one afternoon, I was rather surprised when one landed on my head. Which was great for my daughter who I was carrying at the time. She found it rather amusing.
