that is, he was stripping the fern at lightning pace
as you can see, the tops are gone already.

A great photo capturing all the features of this lovely bird. I haven't seen them in my area, perhaps they prefer more densely forested areas?
He/she's a somewhat scruffy looking fella - do you think it's a youngun? Or is it just the angle of the light that makes the feathers look a bit white?

Nice shot M-L, I didn't know that they ate ferns.

You are right Tim, it is the angle of the light, one of those rare days when the sun was out.
Shane, I think there might be seeds under those leaves, because they rip them off and eat what ever it is, and through the rest on the ground.

Great detail and behaviour M-L.
Cheers, Owen.
Beautiful pic, beautiful bird. I've seen them in the wild, but not around here. You've captured it beautifully.

I think they're spores that the rosella is after, Araminta.
Timmo, young crimson rosellas are mostly green. I once asked a group why young Adelaide rosellas were mainly green. One smart fellow said: "We're all a little green when we're young."
Damn, I forgot that - of course they are. Thanks Woko.
