I don't think that is what i saw. After all, residents of the South side of Canberra are most reluctant to cross the lake to the much-maligned North

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.
