Following on from the discussion of Blue-winged parrots, another probable
sighting, almost certainly of a Turquoise Parrot, in MacGregor Street, Deakin,
last Tuesday, about 8.45am. My wife gave a very precise description and picked
it out of Pizzey & Knight with no uncertainty. She described it as about
Rainbow Lorikeet size, and flew in a "bouncey way" like the lorikeet. Body
mainly yellowy green, intense blue wings, red "on shoulders or upper chest". It
was sitting on a front lawn and took off across the road in front of her.
