A bit of a mystery!

A mohawk? Superb Parrot Paintball? Or staining from some plant juice?

Hi All,

I was watching 7 Superb Parrots feeding at Yerrabi Pond late this afternoon and was puzzled by the dark colouring on the head/neck of one bird in particular, but a second one also had a small amount too.

Is this part of a moult (I think they were both immature birds) or something else?

Thanks for any information.

Cheers

Julie
