The species is abundant virtually everywhere in Canberra. From The GBS Report, it is the 4th most often recorded species of all of Canberra's birds. So I don't think you need anyone's help in finding them. For what it is worth, the nest box in my backyard has chicks right now. In the last 4 days both parents have been entering the nest together (rather than just the mother), presumably to feed them. I wouldn't think they would still be in the nest at christmas though.

Hello all,

As some of you may know I am currently studying crimson rosellas, specifically vocal variation in their piping calls. I am based in Geelong at the moment but will be back in Canberra (and the south coast) for xmas. I am planning to bring my recording equipment up with me in the hopes of getting some recordings to add to my data set.

I just thought I would ask if anyone knows of any reliable places in the Canberra region or on the south coast (Batemans Bay to Bega) for crimson rosellas. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Erika
