A pale headed parrot visiting the feeder

The Pale-headed Rosella is a pretty parrot with a strange color combination of a blue body and pale yellow head. There is red and green on the rump and blue on the underbelly; this blue is also on the face of Cape York individuals of this species, thus sometimes giving rise to the second common name of 'Blue-cheeked Rosella' (not tobe confused with the 'Blue-cheeked Rosella' group)
