$The crimson rosella (Platycercus elegans) is a medium-sized Australian parrot at 36 cm (14 in) long, much of which is tail. There are seven subspecies, three of which are actually crimson. The red is replaced by yellow in the case of var. flaveolus and a mixture of red, orange and yellow in the Adelaide rosella. Adults and juveniles generally show strikingly different colouration in south-eastern populations, with predominantly greenish-olive body plumage on the juvenile, most persistent on the nape and breast. Juveniles are said to 'ripen' as they get older and turn from green to red.\n\nThe crimson rosella is native to eastern and south eastern Australia which has been introduced to New Zealand and Norfolk Island. It is commonly found in, but not restricted to, mountain forests and gardens. The species as it now stands has subsumed two former separate species, the yellow rosella and the Adelaide rosella. Molecular studies show one of the three red-coloured races, P. e. nigrescens, is genetically more distinct.\n\nThe crimson rosella is a social bird and is often seen in flocks of up to 20 birds. They are omnivorous and their diet consists of seeds, fruits, insects and nectar. They are also known to eat the buds and flowers of eucalypt trees.\n\nThe crimson rosella is a popular pet and is relatively easy to care for. They are intelligent birds and can be taught to talk. They are also relatively quiet birds and do not make a lot of noise.\n\nThe crimson rosella is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, their population is declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation. They are also threatened by predation by cats and foxes.$
