Hello,

I am new to posting here but I thought this might be of interest to some of you. On Tuesday evening I saw and heard what I think was a Swift Parrot flying low and fast over my house in Bungendore. I saw the underside of the bird, which had a red undertail coverts and a green belly and breast, and Swift Parrot appears to be the only match in my field guide. The bird was also quite small, much smaller than a galah. Please let me know if you think that my ID is likely to be correct (or not).

Thanks,

Erika
