Morning all,

I've been looking into the origins of Eastern Rosellas in Adelaide and wondered if anyone had any information on the subject. I'd heard from one source that they were introduced to the area, but none of the field guides mention this (even Simpson and Day, which usually points introductions out on the maps). I've found a paper that suggests that they spread from the Victorian border around ~1910 due to increased agricultural activity and began breeding in Adelaide in 1934, citing quite a few references that show the progress of the species across SA.
Just interested to see what people know or think on the matter.
Cheers,

Tony
