We have one in Belconnen that sets fruit and plenty of viable seed
(its seedlings rival even those of privet). It is much favoured by
King Parrots too.

Yes, Con I can also see the faint reddish tinge.
If he has been crossed with a Corella - it would have to be a
"Long-beak" form, as they have such tonings in the base of their
chest feathers. (I have a friend who has on old one in a cage,
which I get to see regularly) But I see no other signs of Corella
influence, in beak or eye patch.
I was interested to note it is enjoying Pistachio sinensis
seeds.Those trees seldom set fruit in Canberra, in my experience.

The bird in this photo appears to have a faint reddish tinge
on its breast. Photo taken in the garden yesterday. As far as
I can guess, it is pigment and not stain.
