We had one in Hoppers Crossing for several months during 2006 - looked like
a wild one but from the way it kept around houses I guess an escape.

On the (rather sweaty) ride home along the Yarra tonight I spotted a
cockatiel at the new Melbourne Girls College boat ramp between Hawthorn
bridge and the railway bridge in Burnley. Unlike a cockatiel I found a
little further upstream, this was a complete wild-type female (the previous
one was yellow).
While a cockatiel would be a tick for me (sad, isn't it?), I'm inclined to
guess it's an aviary escape, although I was not able to approach the bird
without it getting obviously nervous. However, with the drought, who knows?
Has anyone else seen cockatiels in Melbourne of late?
