Bourke's Parrot
4 sections
Bourke's Parrot is a gentle, small parrot native to Australia’s arid interior, best known for its unique pastel colouring and quiet nature. Unlike the bold, bright hues of many Australian parrots, Bourke’s Parrot features a subtle blend of dusty brown upperparts, soft pink underparts, and blue highlights. Found mainly in mulga and acacia scrublands across central and western Australia, these birds are most active at dawn and dusk.
