Yes, and I noticed that Colin Friels referred to Corellas as cockatoos a

You'll all have to come to Tassie! It was fine here.
And a fantastic show, too.
Only one small gripe, from a parochial 'new' Tasmanian: The Narrator
spoke early in the show about parrots spreading across the whole
range of habitats, even to the countries highest mountains (with
shots of Green Rosellas feeding in the snow. The implication was
that Green Rosellas are found around Australia's highest mountains
(Snowy Mountains of SE mainland?). While you do get Green Rosellas
in the alpine country of Tasmania, in fact they are not as common as
in lowland areas - many move to lower altitudes during the winter.
However, I think you'd be hard-pushed to find any near the country's
highest mountains!
There, that's my little 'insular' gripe over for the day/week/month etc.
Happy Birding, and happy watching, if they ever do replay the show!

Same here in Melbourne, recording from cable tv (I just watched the
whole show at 30x speed) - same frozen Crimson Rosella. If anyone
finds out if it's being repeated could they let us know?

G'day all
SW Victorian experience: Great show up until about 10 minutes from
the end when the picture froze on a Crimson Rosella. No problems
before that. We waited for about 15 minutes but never saw the outcome
or heard a word of explanation from the ABC. Hope they show it again
soon.
Cheers

Dear all,
Did anyone else lose the first 4 minutes or so of the sound track
from ABC TV Program Australia: Land of Parrots. Apart from that it
was a good program, hough somewhat truncated. I could easily have
been expanded to a 3 part series.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Tony,
I think he was referring to them being members of the Cockatoo group of
Parrots , as they members of the Cacatua genus.
