The crimson rosella
is a parrot native to eastern and south eastern Australia which has been
introduced to New Zealand and Norfolk Island. It is commonly found in, but not
restricted to, mountain forests and gardens. The species as it now stands has
subsumed two former separate species, the yellow rosella and the Adelaide
rosella. Molecular studies show one of the three red-coloured races,
var. nigrescens is genetically
more distinct. Source
