	Birds in Backyards - Parrots
		Parrots have two toes pointing forwards, and two toes pointing backwards; songbirds have three toes forward and one toe at the back.
		Many parrot species are highly dexterous with their feet, and will hold hard seed capsules in one foot while they extract the seeds with their bills.
		Many parrots are susceptible to a viral disease, often spread at feeding stations, known as Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD), which causes the birds to lose their feathers and grow grotesquely shaped beaks.

		The parrot family's fossil record, however, is sparse and their origin remains a matter of informed speculation rather than fact.
		At this point, however, is found the first unambiguous parrot fossil (as opposed to a parrot-like one), an upper jaw which is indistinguishable from that of modern cockatoos.
		Other scholars claim that parrots are only repeating words with no idea of their meanings and point to Pepperberg's results as being nothing but an expression of classical conditioning, or possibly a manifestation of the Clever Hans effect.

		I used to think that maybe civilization has shifted the Red-rumped further back into the bush, when I say “Civilisation” I mean thousands and thousands of acres of timbered river flat that has been cleared for dairy farms etc resulting in a lack of suitable trees for nesting sites.
		As they are a ground parrot, if they are kept in a conventional cage, even if the floor is concrete, you need to regularly worm them.
		CONCLUSION: The Red-rumped parrot is a very hardy bird and if a sensible approach is used, they would be a very good bird for the inexperienced or beginner to birdkeeping.

		Back Yamma State Forest was our next port of call, but it was on the entrance road that we had our best find, a group of Crimson Chats, like the Cockatiel’s seen earlier these were at the limit of their range and had presumably been attracted to the area by earlier rainfall.
