Field Notes

Notes:

This male King Parrot was about 40cm from head to tail and the fattest King Parrot I've ever seen! He was in the free-flight aviary at the Tamworth Marsupial Park.

Argybee - I think so!!!! There were quite a few 'large' birds in this aviary.

You're right. He's a balloon. Must be that stress-free life of 'luxury'.
