In fact, in some States it is actually illegal to keep them in captivity.

Peter, 
to the best of my knowledge they are not kept in captivity in Australia, so
it can be assumed that it was a wild bird :)

I remember when I used to live in Boronia (back in the 80s) and visited
friends in Ferntree Gully there were signs up at a local park about the
Bulbuls. I was not a birder then and never saw one, but at least there is
some historical precedent for them being there - although you are almost
certainly right.
