This is a baby King Parrot eating my camelia seed pods! As they mature they become a very stunning birds ... the males having a bright red chest and the females a green chest.
I love how his feather colors complement the leaves. Definitely looks like it is enjoying the pod :) Is this a bird in the wild or a pet?
Yes these birds are wild and as we are on the edge of an escarpment they fly down daily for their treats ...some people feed them but we don't bother as they can become very noisy as lorrikeets and cockatoos join in as well and before long you have 20 or 30 birds fighting over the food. We have planted native trees and shrubs and that way you still see the birds but in a much more civil way!
