I'll start with a Western rosella.

I've got a few that fit that criteria. Some in their names, and all with some colour.

Wasn't sure if this was orange or red and I've not seen it since. Taken a few years ago.

I never see the King Parrots in our grevilleas. Always in the Oak or Liquidamber, and recently the Crepe Myrtle. Sometimes up top of the Lily Pilly too.

Sun Conures are from South America,and are quite a common cage bird in the USA,but definitely not native to Aus
