I didnt realize how fortunate I was to spend time with Turquoise Parrots at
Nangar Park near Eugowra in 2008. A small cooperative flock that came down
to a small bore and fed in nearby fields. Thanks again to helpful Aussies
here on birding-aus that made it all happen. I lucked out in my search
last Sept. Perhaps it was too lush in the Park and the Turqs were
feeding/nesting elsewhere.
