Platycercus adscitus, also known as the Pale-headed Rosella, is a medium-sized parrot found in Australia, primarily in the eastern and southeastern regions of the country.
The Pale-headed Rosella has distinctive, colorful plumage, with a blue head and wings, a bright red breast, and a white belly. It has a short, strong beak that it uses to open seeds and nuts.
The pale-headed Rosella is known for its harsh, shrill call, which is a series of squeaky notes and squawks. It feeds mainly on seeds, fruits and nectar, and is usually found in small flocks.
Although the Pale-headed Rosella is not considered threatened, its population is declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Its conservation status is currently listed as “Least Concern” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
