Hi ColinHow about Alexandrine Parakeet/Parrot? They've been mistaken for Superb Parrots around here in SE Melbourne, sometimes consorting with Rainbow Lorikeets. Graceful flight with quite slow wing beats and the wings somewhat bowed. One reference on Google says "loud, sharp screaming call- keeak, keeak, keeak.." Field marks: has some deep pink partches around leading edge of wing, red bill and underparts, to my eye, avoacdo in colour. Yellow, not pink, under tail.
