The King parrots are back too
A King parrot keeps watch while his mate feeds on the ground.

I breakfasted alfresco-style on the rear verandah this morning, and enjoyed the parade of constantly squabbling Rainbow lorrikeets. A pair of King parrots soon arrived, aloof and silent rather than adding to the rioting of the Rainbows. The King parrots are a total contrast to the Rainbows. They are far more cautious, and one usually keeps watch while the other feeds.
