Comments on the Blue -winged Parrots interested me as yesterday (Sunday) I was
driving down the Gunyah-Toora track (just north of Wilson's Prom in Victoria).
Damp, dense tall-eucalypt forest. Every few minutes a small flock of 2-5
lorikeets/parrots would rise up from the ground or low foliage and take flight
into the upper branches. Maybe 20-25 birds in all. No bins with me (guilty as
charged!) but yellow belly was clear as was a plain green back (no red rumps)
and dark wings. I am assuming by a process of elimination Blue-winged Parrot,
as the behavior and range fit. So just a query as to whether this species does
vary its habitat that much - remembering that it was not just one or two errant
birds.
