Sounds a bit like an escaped Rose-ringed (Ring-necked) Parrot to me. The
colour of the beak does not sound like a Superb parrot nor does the "high
piercing call". Three (potential) escapees does sound a bit much though. It
may have joined some genuine Superbs. Off the top of my head I can't think
of any other species it could be.

ID help needed please. This afternoon in a bare deciduous tree outside
Lyneham Primary school, a parrot yellow/light green all over, with long
pointed tail, greenish beak, high piercing call. Would this be a female
Superb Parrot? Two others appeared as it flew off.
