These charming birds live in smallish groups of between 10 and 20 along the east coast of Australia, just squeezing in here near the border with Victoria, with a small population, possibly a separate race, living around Adelaide. They prefer grassed clearings, where they feed mainly on seeds, with undergrowth to dash into for safety, so it's ideal here. Pairs form a permanent bond within the group and both undertake nest building, incubation and feeding of young.
