	eastern rosella, Platycercus eximius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The eastern rosella, according to Oliver, was imported to New Zealand in 1910 when a small shipment that had been refused entry by the Customs Department was released off Otago Heads from the ship that brought them.
		The most compelling question regarding the eastern rosella, especially in light of arguments regarding the status of introduced birds and whether or not they should be exterminated, is whether these birds are simply filling a niche which our endemic kakariki have vacated or whether they have accelerated the kakariki's decline.
		Wright and Clout are silent on whether or not the Ornitholological Society distribution maps indicate whether the kakariki waned as the eastern rosella waxed.

		Eastern Rosellas are easily catered for with their nesting requirements, taking to a medium or large parrot box just as readily as a log.
		Eastern hens tend to be very shy if their log is left in the aviary all year round, diving into their log as soon as they hear anyone approach their aviary.
		Eastern Rosellas enjoy nothing like a good bath and, therefore, we provide a large water dish, although this is normally replaced with a smaller one during breeding season to prevent any mishaps with new chicks.

		The Browns Rosella or Northern Rosella (Platycercus venustus venustus) is perhaps the most beautifully coloured of all the family, with its unusual light yellow (almost golden) plumage and its distinctive bright blue shoulder patches.
		Rosellas benefit from a good quality parakeet mixture, containing mixed millets, plain canary, striped sunflower, safflower, buckwheat, all forms of nuts etc. Hemp should be offered in small quantities as the birds can become quickly overweight if they eat too much of this seed.
