Best Answer

Yes. Rosellas are native to Australia. They gained their name because they were first noted in the "Rose Hill" area of New South Wales, and so were called "Rose Hillers". This name soon developed into "Rosellas".

What is the Rosella meaning?

Rosellas are colourful Australian parrots in the genus Platycercus. Platycercus means "broad-" or "flat-tailed", and these parrots are distinctive for their broader tails than other Australian parrots, such as cockatiels.Rosellas are mainly herbivorous, feeding on seeds, fruits, nuts, leaf buds, new shoots and the nectar and pollen in flowers of Australian native plants. They have also been known to eat mealworms and other insect larvae.Rosellas are so-called because the region where they were first noted was called Rose Hill. The birds were initially called "Rose-hillers" to distinguish them from lorikeets and other colourful parrots, and over time, this became "rosellas". There are several types of rosellas, the most common being the Crimson rosella and Eastern rosella.
