I would agree it's probably an escapee immature Indian Ringneck.

That should help you with identification, seems your mob are paranoid about them! They make nice pets (although they certainly can bite!)

Excellent guard-dogs.

Screech at the drop of a hat.

We already have plenty of introduced "pest" birds from the eastern states.

Rainbow and SB lorikeets are a big problem - wineries in the swan valley pay professional shooters to help control them.

Corellas are also plentiful, though not native to the west coast...

Don't worry, we have your Golden Wreath Wattle, not sure if it was a fair trade though It's taken over from Coreopsis as the yellow roadside border but a prolifice spreader and bigger fire risk.

Darwinism at work.

I'd say Indian ringneck too.

Either a young one or a hen.The males often take a couple of years before they get a ring.

We had a female King parrot hanging around our conure the other day.Definitely an escapee as it was very tame.

Looks like a female King parrot, the male is red and green, regards Frank.
