WA feral parrots pose agriculture and environment threat
Aviary parrots that are a declared pest have been discovered in the wild and
captured at Lower King, east of Albany, on Western Australia's south coast.
This is the first I have heard of these in Albany. A couple of weeks ago I
received a photo of an unusual parrot from a garden in Walpole (west of
Albany) which was identified as an Indian Ringneck.
I have heard through birding-aus previously of these being seen in
Melbourne (and Alice Springs?). It seems that they are being released more
often?
