A few weeks ago we were debating whether Queen Elizabeth I could have had a
Sulphur-crested Cockatoo.
I recently saw a video of the BBC's version of Fielding's Tom Jones, and in
the first episode Squire Weston returns to his west country house from
Bristol with a present for his daughter Sophia?this turns out to be an
Eastern Rosella; the date, the 1720s!
