The Crimson Rosella is very efficient at tearing open fruits. Easily spotted with their bright, startling crimson and blue plumage these beautiful birds are seen all along the east coast of Australia all through the high country. They normally fly close to the ground and glide upwards into a tree. The breeding season lasts from September to January or February. The nest is in a hollow limb or hole in a living or dead Eucalypt and might be used for several years if found to be safe from interference.
Incubations lasts three weeks and about five weeks after hatching the young vacate the nest.
These immature birds, who are green in colour, remain with their parents until mature and then associate with other immatures in flocks. The mature birds often travel in pairs. We chose the Crimson Rosella as our mascot because it is uniquely Australian living in the high country on the east coast, as we are. It has adapted to a variety of habitats. For us, this means we are to be diverse and flexible adapting to the needs of small business, non-profit organisations or large corporate organisations.
