Rosellas are colourful parrots. There are several species, and their colours include blue, green, red, orange, yellow, white, indigo and violet. The largest of the rosellas is the Green rosella, which ranges between 29 and 34cm in length, while other rosellas are generally just a little smaller.
Like all parrots, rosellas have curved beaks, but unlike members of the cockatoo family, they do not have crests. Being members of the parrot family, rosella have sharp claws, with two toes pointing forwards and two pointing packwards. These feet are often used to hold seeds, nuts and other food while the bird strips the outer shell with its strong beak.
