Australian King Parrot
Scarlet green exotic plume bird
on occasions, endemic to the wooded
eucalyptus plot in torrid upper reach
red winged flyer, blue stripe and grey beak
species found in outer suburb niche,
northern Sydney beach, or steep-faced
deep ravine in parts of Queensland.
They can be such a charming pet when raised
in aviaries, devoted, saying very little but
of warm and fair attachment all the same
