Australian King Parrots are common and widespread throughout the fringed eastern regions of the Australian continent. These birds prefer a habitat that is heavily forested ranging from Cooktown in Quennsland to Port Campbell in Victoria. They can be found in the higher elevated regions of the continent, in places where eucalyptus trees thrive very well, near the subtropical areas and temperate rain forests. It is not surprising to find some of them in the northern regions of Tasmania, a well known island southeast from the Australian continent.
