They are rock stars in their family (or group of families, depending on what taxonomists have been smoking lately), a family that includes Scarlet Macaws , Crimson Shining-parrots , Golden Parakeets and Rainbow Lorikeets , and that is no mean feat. Part of it is because they are parrots, and most people really like parrots.

If you are looking for something more colourful then you can’t go wrong with Australian King Parrots and Satin Bowerbirds and their bowers ! Sanctuary Lakes Palmerston. New South Wales is a good location to find the Superb Lyrebird too and I wrote about that too! Northern Australia birding. Keep River National Park.
