Golden-mantled Eastern Rosella at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington

The eastern rosella displays brilliant layers of white, red, yellow, black and green along its 12 inch body. This subspecies, called the golden-mantled rosella, adds a blue and more hues of green and yellow to the mix. The bird is beautiful and very intelligent. However, it does not make a good pet such as the budgie parakeet or cockatiel. The eastern rosella lives among other Australian parrots at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington.
