David,
You
are right with they bred somewhat distant from this area and
had travelled here. Indeed I have noticed in recent days that KPs have begun to
come back into my GBS area after some weeks of absence. As with most such questions, this phenomenon is described in
detail in The GBS Report and has been further discussed in many prior messages
on this chat line.
It
most recently came up in discussing the on line article about the Common Myna
that included the King Parrot in the comparisons, along with parrots that breed
locally, whilst apparently oblivious to that the King Parrot never breeds in
Canberra and so my point was that the comparison was vacuous.

On a walk last evening, my wife and I saw a family of four
King Parrots with two dependent young being fed by both parents. They were
near Melbourne Ave on the Forrest side. I haven’t seen breeding activity
of KPs around here before. Perhaps they bred somewhat distant from this
area and had travelled here. Indeed I have noticed in recent days that KPs
have begun to come back into my GBS area after some weeks of
absence.
