BLUE-FACED PARROT-FINCH
Erythrura trichroa 12 cm

·         In Australia the Blue-faced Parrot-Finch is restricted to north Queensland.

·         It is moderately common in partially fragmented rainforests in an arc between Gordonvale and Ravenshoe.  Other sites are more scattered.

·         It feeds often on the seeds of Guinea Grass and Brachiaria at the forest edge.

·         Although colourful it is difficult to observe, flushing readily from grasses into nearby trees.

·         The metallic call is distinctive but is inaudible to many observers.
