I agree. I can’t see it as anything else. Lots of photos on internet e.g.

I don’t know that I have ever met one, though obviously a well known cage bird (described as a good mimic of human voices). From that book and another. Only
thing not showing is the bit of red on the wrist (but could easily be hidden).

Subject: [canberrabirds] any exotic parrot experts out there?
This bird, apparently about the size of a corella, circled above the NRL refs at training session in Lidcombe this morning, and then landed on a shoulder. My son, one of the NRL referees, has asked what it
is. I've flipped quickly through Jow Forshaw's "Parrots of the World" and it seems most like a Yellow-crowned Amazon. Anyone know?? Obviously an escapee - it was taken to the nearest RSPCA premises.
