Crimson Rosellas do love a bird bath and that's not surprising given all the blood sucking and dead-skin munching parasites they're lumbered with, in particular Hippoboscidae - louse flies or keds, which I have seen escaping the bath by sitting on the bird's head. Indeed there's one on the pic below, top left, but might be hard to make it out at this resolution. Silvereyes and Striated Thornbills seem to get on well - even the solitary New Holland was in the mood to share.
