Unusual parrot Wanniassa hills

[sandra henderson via Canberrabirds <>]

Thanks Jenny. Yes - musk lorikeets. 3 or 4 five minutes ago in the large red-flowering ironbark near main carpark , along with some rainbow lorikeets, wattlebirds and noisy miners.

I could be totally wrong because I have a fever, but I think I may have seen and heard an unusual parrot in the southern trees of the Wanniassa hills primary school open space. What I saw was smallish, unusual tinkling call, green with red on the face. I was thinking swift parrot or musk lorikeet?

If anyone is walking by. Love you to fact check me. It was very chatty feeding away.

I took back the binos and camera but it was gone. I was sad that there were “only Superb Parrots”.

Thanks
