TFA blurb review
The rock parrot (Neophema petrophila) is a species of grass parrot native to Australia. Described by John Gould in 1841, it is a small parrot 22 to 24 cm (8+3⁄4 to 9+1⁄2 in) long and weighing 50–60 g (1+3⁄4–2 oz) with predominantly olive-brown upperparts and more yellowish underparts. Its head is olive with light blue forecheeks and lores, and a dark blue frontal band line across the crown with lighter blue above and below. The sexes are similar in appearance, although the female tends to have a duller frontal band and less blue on the face. The preferred habitats are rocky islands and coastal dune areas from Lake Alexandrina in southeastern South Australia westwards across coastal South and Western Australia to Shark Bay. Unlike other grass parrots, it nests in burrows or rocky crevices mostly on offshore islands such as Rottnest Island. Seeds of grasses and succulent plants form the bulk of its diet. The species is not threatened, but it has suffered in the face of feral mammals. (Full article...)
Just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 18:20, 31 August 2019 (UTC) Quick note: I went through condensing where I could, and now I see it's on the short end of the 925-1025 scale ... we can add stuff back in if you like. - Dank (push to talk) 01:34, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
Just made small tweaks, partly the result of working from the current version of the lead. - Dank (push to talk) 18:01, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
