A male Green Rosella or Tasmanian Rosella (Platycercus caledonicus) which is endemic to Tasmania and Bass Strait islands in Australia. It occurs in most habitats with some form of tree cover up to 1500 meters above sea level. At 37 cm (14.5 in) long it is the largest species of the Rosella genus. Male and female are generally similar in plumage, being predominantly black, green, and yellow in color with a red band above the beak and blue cheeks. Its diet is composed of seeds, fruit, berries and flowers, as well as insects and insect larvae. Other common names include Yellow-bellied or Yellow-breasted Parakeet, and Mountain Parrot. The Green Rosella is reported to be hardier and easier to keep in captivity than other rosellas.
