I believe this issue was discussed on Birding –Aus about 3 years ago. It should be available on their archives. Basically David is along the right lines.

I saw that, I would think it was most likely to be the Yellow-crested Cockatoo from 'central' (east of Bali) Indonesia and also Timor Leste. Some trade with that area, say via a complex web of intermediaries, would probably have been established with Europe by then, e.g. trade in valuable spices. A most exotic and valuable item say on its arrival in Italy!!!
