The Australian Ringneck, known for its vibrant plumage, is seen foraging for grass seeds. This striking bird displays a mix of green, blue, and yellow feathers, making it a colorful sight against the earthy tones of the ground. Recently, four species of birds with yellow collars on the neck have been combined as subspecies into this one species. The parrot shown here is most similar what used to be called the Mallee Ringneck and is distinguished by the red forehead and softer, pastel colors. The male shown here is brighter in color overall than the female.
