Has anyone else seen this escapee?
Location corner of Hopetoun Dr and Alexandrina Dr Yarralumla. I have seen it for two days. It calls loudly and continuously in flight with a simple repeated high-pitch "distressed" call. It flies very fast and moves restlessly from tree to tree. In general
jizz it is a smallish parrot, perhaps a cockatiel, but the wings appear all-white while the back is grey or light brown. The tail was not noticeably long. I assume it is an escapee.
I did not have binoculars on me.
Any other observations?
