    Calling all bird experts; mystery visitor

    This little bloke showed up this afternoon, he seems to have attached himself to a family of King Parrots who are regular visitors, he doesn't match anything in our bird book and one of those internet bird identifiers came up blank. Anyone know what he is?

    Definitely a Princess Parrot. It would be an aviary escapee as it is way out of its natural range in Victoria.

    The OP already knows that the first bird is a King Parrot:

    ...he seems to have attached himself to a family of King Parrots who are regular visitors...
    The question is regarding the second bird in that pic & the only bird in all the other pics.
    Cheers,
