Several Eastern Rosella fledgling recently fell out of a nest box in John and Marie’s yard at Golden Point. They landed in saltbush below where the adults fed them for a week before they finally flew off.

A week or two previously Doug Ralph also discovered young Rosellas. This time they had stayed in their nest box.
