=================
The pale-headed rosella (Platycercus adscitus), is a broad-tailed parrot of the genus Platycercus native to northeastern Australia. It is a moderate-size parrot with a pale yellow head, predominantly white cheeks, scalloped black and gold back and pale blue underparts. There are two subspecies, the nominate Platycercus adscitus adscitus (Cape York Peninsula) and the better known Platycercus adscitus palliceps (eastern Queensland), known as the blue-cheeked rosella, that was depicted in 1832 by the English artist Edward Lear in his Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots.

Hey Every Birdie,
here we see a beautifull Platycercus adscitus palliceps (pale-headed Rosella Parakeet) which is a sub-species of the P. a. adscitus (blue-cheeked Rosella Parakeet)

The nominate sub-species being very similar but displaying a much darker blue abdomen, breast & lower part of cheeks while palliceps display white cheeks, pale-blue (whitish-blue) abdomen & troath.

Best regards,
St??phane aka Tintin,
