Hi all. Posted the following in Birds of Australia under Australia's Native Wildlife, in the Australianaarticles but have not had any reply as yet. Was a bit hard to navigate through to the comments and reviews and I'm wondering if not many people go there.

Thought I would try the forum as it has a fairly large following.


We live Eltham, one of Melbourne’s leafy suburbs. Lots of Kooka’s, Lorikeets and King Parrots. Today we had 3 King Parrots on a bird bath and one had distinctive yellow fleck on its back. Never seen that before and nothing in our bird book. Anyone seen something similar? It is not simply sunlight.
