Crimson Rosellas swarm around the picnic areas in the Dandenong Ranges
as they know they will get a good feed from tourists.
They will land on your outstretched hand eating seeds and fruit while clamped to your finger.
They quite like seeds - sunflower seeds are however not good for most birds due to their high fat content.
Tending to hold food in one claw means the other one needs to clamp on quite tightly to your hand.
Your head and shoulders will also be common places on which they perch.
The dominant birds will land on your head while the juveniles usually stay on the ground
feeding on what has been dropped.
