The Northern Rosella (*Platycercus venustus*) is the only rosella species found in northern Australia, adapted to the tropical savanna woodlands of the Top End and the Kimberley. This parrot is smaller than most of its southern relatives and is instantly recognisable by its unique colour combination of black, pale yellow, blue, and white.
