They are a dry area animal (hence their liking for SA). Head south west to, say, broken hill or renmark.
I remember driving along the QLD/NSW border and was rapt in seeing one about 1,000 km into the trip. Down here, if you want to photgraph one, you need to push three out of the way.
 
Wild yes....captivity no......come breeding season if shingles are kept in large colonies they will mate with who ever the hell they fell like.....randy little blitters :)

Not at all Magie. You will not find this colour form within 400 kms of perth.

Here is an example of the perth colour form that you may find in the hills or eastern suburbs but they are nothing like the black & red form.

Very true indeed, sad to break the myth of pairing for life, but in colonies, they do not seem to practise monogamy.
