Anyone travelling near Portland in SW Victoria should keep an eye out for Ring-necked Parakeet, as one has been reported from there (ABC Radio yesterday, 22 March, Alan Reid's segment). You might like to add it to your list of exotic escapes, or just do the right thing with your pop-gun... Seriously, if there are two or more birds this info should be passed onto DNRE. Or maybe a duck hunter will get it by mistake - after all, it's got feathers and wings. (Yes, amazingly we are having a duck hunting season in Victoria, despite our 3-year drought).
