Indeed - and even if it were a wild one (presumably displaced by fires) it is out of range and habitat so survival is debatable for even a wild one I guess. I have an open mind on this one - unlike the Major Mitchell I saw in Werribee a few days earlier - which was on a garage roof with two people trying to coax it down!

One of the problems with re-introducing captive-bred rarities into habitat is that they succumb to starvation or predation quite quickly.
