Photographer’s Note

Out in parkland beside the Yarra river a couple of days ago I noticed a type of parrot that I hadn't seen before. After consulting all the Australian bird identification information I could find, its identity was still a mystery.

So I googled "green parrot red beak".

This was the first result!

No doubt about it, she was another invader. An Indian Ringneck Parrot, probably escaped from her cage and now taking up residence in boxes attached to trees by the local council to provide nesting sites for native birds...
