Crimson Rosella

Though described by Johann Friedrich Gmelin in Systema Naturae as Psittacus elegans in 1788, the Crimson Rosella had been described and named by John Latham in 1781 as the Beautiful Lory, and then Pennantian Parrot. However he didn't give it a Latin name until 1790, when he named it Psittacus pennanti. In 1854, it was placed in the genus Platycercus by Martin Lichtenstein in his Nomenclator Avium Musei Zoologici Berolinensis.

The Crimson Rosella is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

This behavior is naturally important to understand if you plan to breed Crimson Rosellas. More
