Gorgeously colourful and full of character, these highly social birds zoom around in very noisy flocks. Every evening a flock flies overhead on its way north. At Easter-time the air around our house fills with the mashed potato scent of paperbarks flowering and the loud chattering of foraging flocks. A full on sensual spectacle.
