Pale-headed Rosellas are an exquisitely beautiful bird and one that is fairly consistent with sightings at the Charles and Motee Rogers Bushland Reserve at Highfields. The reserve provides excellent nesting habitat with plenty of tree hollows and a plenty of food source with a range of flowering eucalyptus trees, native fruits, seeds, shrub flowers, insects and native grasses.
Even though it is brightly coloured, the Pale-headed Rosella is very well-camouflaged when feeding amongst leaves in the canopy of trees. The call is similar to that of the Eastern Rosella: 'kwik, kwik' calling in flight, or when perched a high pitched rapid 'pi-pi-pi-pi-pi' and soft chattering.
