User's notes
I saw about 10 drinking from a small white tub in the ground somebody had put out for them among the trees. In this group there was also a single male Australian King-parrot, who did not seem to cause any issues for the Superb Parrots. There were a number in this area, generally flying between trees. I am also sure I saw some juvenile birds, as the male colours on the neck were just starting to become visible under the green plumage.
