This green rosella was enjoying a snack of purple thistle weed just outside the room I was staying at on Maria Island, which itself is just off the coast of Tasmania. The green rosella is one of the twelve endemic bird species that call Tasmania home. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/1250th of a second

Most excellent! What a darling bird. Love both the flower in its mouth and the position of the plant just to the bird’s right.
Thanks Sue. I was pleased when this guy didn’t fly immediately away.
Six thick thistle sticks
Most unusual looking bird….very interesting. Also interesting that it eats what appears to be prickly. Love Bob’s tongue twister!
