User's notes
Three Red-rumped Parrots, a brightly coloured male and two females, flew to the pond. The three parrots landed on a branch sticking up through the muddy surface of the water. One of the females appeared to wash her head, spinning her head quickly to remove the excess water. The other two were content to drink the water. They did not stay long, flying off to the trees nearby.
