This sounds like a superb parrot female to me. They are
commonly kept in aviaries and often escape too. I work with WIRES and we
have picked up many aviary escapes, including superb and princess parrots, as
well as the more common galahs, cockatiel sand sulphur-crested cockatoos.
Most birds are never claimed by their owners. I suspect some are held
illegally. At the moment I have 2 Major Mitchells and a Red-tailed
Black-cockatoo, picked up in western Sydney and not, as yet, claimed. All
are tame birds.
