I hope they don’t establish themselves in Australia. The only one I’ve seen in Australia was green (in Wagga perhaps?), as were the ones I saw in Japan, where feral populations

While visiting the Pioneer Park Museum in Dalby yesterday I got to discussing the local birds with the owner. She asked me if I could identify the bird in the attached photo (I hope the photo’s not too big) which has visited the park’s bird feeder in recent

I believe it’s leucistic, probably a parakeet of some kind, an escapee from someone’s aviary. Anyone able to help please?
Cheers
Rod
