Elegant parrot        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Elegant parrots are small, 'grass parrots' from southern Australia.   The grass parrot group (Neophema), as their name implies, tend to feed on the ground and have a more subdued coloration than many parrots -- although the blue trim on the wings and the yellow-bordered blue 'headband' are quite attractive. These were feeding on in an open grassy field near Kalgan in Western Australia.
