Not Turquiose Parrots but more cockatiels

["Bill Stent" <>]

Hi folks, Bill here

I've seen a third escapee cockatiel along the Yarra bike path.  This on
is different again, with a grey mottled back and wings and bright yellow
rump and tail.  I saw it on the way in yesterday and on the way home as
well.

Who's letting all their cockatiels go?

(PS I've still never seen one in the wild, despite Russell's efforts...)

Hi All,
           What are the chances of captive-bred "Turks" surviving in
"the Wild"?  One of the problems with re-introducing captive-bred
rarities into habitat is that they succumb to starvation or predation
quite quickly.
Cheers
Michael
