Cas, I’ve a couple of Kunwinjku names (western Arnhem Land) for Northern 
Rosella, Bulawirdwird and Djaddokorddokord.  These names, from  elders Esther 
Managku, Miriam Nganjmirra and Reverend P. Nganjmirra of Kudjekbinj Outstaton, 
are mentioned in my book, Birds of Australia’s Top End, 2001, 2005.

Regards

Denise
