Two adults and one juvenile (picture 3) feasting again today when I walked past. The juvenile was feeding itself, but still learning the ropes it seemed. A few half-hearted begging attempts to mum and dad but they were having none of it.
THIS FEMALE IS CALLED PINK SPOT - After teh spot on her cheek

Hi there
Great photo of a male Gang Gang, would you be willing to allow ACT PCS to consider this photo as an option for new signs on Red Hill?
Thanks
Jasmine

@MichaelMulvaney - the spot on this one's cheek looks different to the other identified Rose cheeks (lower). Was it anywhere near Section 66 - to me, she looks closest to Cheeky Rose?

This was taken at Golden Grove Park in the suburb of Red Hill, but in July 2017 outside the breeding season
I had assumed that it was Cheeky Rose - but would appreciate your opinion
