The detail
Rosellas are brightly colored broad-tailed parakeets from Australia, kept mainly as aviary birds. They are beautiful and hardy but can be aggressive toward other birds and are rarely as cuddly as a cockatiel.
- Housing
- Long aviary or flight
What to weigh
Rosellas need space to fly and should usually be kept one pair per aviary. They can kill smaller birds and are nippy if handled.
