Not many people know much about rosellas. They are more commonly kept as aviary birds and not pet birds. They're also uncommon in North America and perhaps in other countries as well, outside of Australia and New Zealand.


From what I understand, males are brighter/more colorful than females. (not to say that they are dull, as they are still very colorful!) Males tend to be larger, especially in the head and beak area. Males may have a clearer white cheek patch where-as females are more white-ish grey.

Never had rosellas before, so this coming from limited knowledge.

The one at the front (with yellow/green on the back of the head) is female, the full/darker red head is the male. You have a pair. As for how long it takes to bond, anyone could guess, but it's up to birds. Generally you'll find they prefer to breed in a L shaped box. Hope this helps

@ Raixalotto

thanks but male tends to bite female if she comes near to him ..is it ok ? or i have to change male for pairing.on looking closely male looks little smaller than female.

Some male Rosella's can be quite aggressive even to their mates (seen it even in bonded pairs), just keep an eye in them, if he gets too aggressive, you may have to separate them, and put back together a bit later/change males. Sometimes this can even be because the female isn't ready to breed yet...
