In the open woodlands and termite-dotted savannas of northern Australia, these bright green wanderers sweep between eucalyptus trees with lively chatter. They feed on grass seeds, native fruits, and blossoms, often descending to the ground in quick, confident flurries. What makes them extraordinary is their bond with the land’s smallest architects — nesting deep inside active termite mounds, they rely on the insects’ steady warmth to raise their young, while continuing to scatter seeds across sunburnt plains. A flash of green against red earth, yet a resilient partner in the rhythm of the savanna.
