There is no actual species called an "Australian parrot". This is likely a name given to a particular parrot, which originates from Australia, but with the proper name not being used by overseas bird clubs.

Australian parrots include (to name just a few):

  • budgerigar
  • galah
  • corella
  • sulphur-crested cockatoo
  • rainbow lorikeet
  • Bourke parrot
  • rosella (any species)
  • cockatiel
