Yes, certainly a rarity, apart from that the random occurrence in the urban area, of birds of species that are regularly kept in captivity, is not of itself a rare event. They are not as commonly kept as the Diamond Dove but no doubt there are some in captivity. I suggest it is most likely an escaped pet. Although the one referred to by Barbara probably wasn't.

A check of the rarities records shows only one endorsed record of the Bar-shouldered Dove in the ACT: 29 June 1992 4 km from Mt Clear, by a professional who had worked with the species. Barbara Allan, secretary, COG rarities panel
