They winter
in India and are a noted vagrant. Still Oz is a long way off track and they are
a pretty bird - I would guess 10% chance of a wild bird, 90% cage
bird.

Good Morning
Aus-Birders
I just got the picture of the Western Australia, Rosy
Starling discovered by Joy Tansey and set to me by Jennifer Spry and and have
put it on our website so everyone can see it. Is this the first record
for Australia? Is there any significant possibility that this is an
escapee or any other explanation besides a vagrant from Asia? I know it
occurs as a caged bird in Indonesia.
