Justification for EICAT assessment


Eastern Rosellas have been observed to feed on flowers of native plant species like Puriri (Vitex lucens), New Zealand flax (Phormium tenax) or Kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides). There is no evidence that herbivory by Eastern Rosellas affected the performance of these species (Wright and Clout, 2001).
Confidence rating
Low
Mechanism(s) of maximum impact
Grazing/herbivory/browsing
