Hi Russell,

I hadn't heard of that book before, but I'll see if there's a copy knocking about at the uni tomorrow.
Cheers!

Hi Tony
There should be something in Goodwin's Introduced Birds of the World. I don't have a copy at hand but I can look when I get home from work (sadly, although I'm running a library, we don't have a copy here - what an indictment!)

    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
