It is not at all uncommon for roosting flocks of Galahs and Rainbow,
Scaly-breasted and Musk Lorikeets to take off and fly very noisily around
for some time during the night here at Coutts Crossing, north coast NSW. I
presume that this is instigated by the arrival of some nocturnal predator
but I have no evidence of this. There is no reason why Eastern Rosellas
would not behave in a similar manner if disturbed at the roost. I am not
aware of any nocturnal bird that sounds like a rosella.
