It is
hard to answer the first question as it could be either of these or something
else. And no way to know if our answer is correct. The written description fits
Red-rumped Parrots and Eastern Rosellas best of all, both of which are of course
much more likely. The description of the call does not seem like Superb Parrots.
Spread out tail feather is not diagnostic to any species of parrots.
It is
odd that I don't think anyone has mentioned there is a very big size difference
between Superb Parrots & Swift Parrots. Which is enough to pick the
difference between these two. Especially when considering overall length in head
to tail or in wing span. The former is a big parrot, the latter a very
small one.
