Parrots, lorikeets, corellas, rosellas and cockatoos include some of the most showy, noisy and colourful of all of the bird species in Australia, whilst other species are rare, timid and evasive. The calls of these birds provide a constant soundtrack to any visit to Australia and there are a few endemic species in New Zealand.
