5 sections
The eastern rosella, introduced to New Zealand in the early 1900s, is a vibrant and eye-catching parrot about the size of a small pigeon. With its kaleidoscope of colors and cheerful chatter, this Australian native has become a familiar sight in many North Island landscapes and around Dunedin in the South Island.
