Thanks Con, Mark, Philip for suggestions. I used the Morcombe and the P&K apps
plus Simpson and Day but inconclusively. Sorry about the sketchy description,

except that they were parrots.
Checking the internet, including for sound, Rose-ringed parakeet seems a
definite possibility, tho this bird's bill was not red. LK
