I agree with John, but then I would have to, having ticked them on a  
station in SA in 1982. Mike Carter has written an article on the status 
of these birds in the latest Australian Birding Assoc Newsletter for  
anyone that is interested. In short I recall that these birds were once 
wild but have since been rounded up. 
 
Also I know of at least two observers that have seen the Black-headed  
Mannikin back in the 60's in Sydney
