Once upon a time, I thought there were 4 forms: Mallee, Cloncurry, Port Lincoln and 28. About 20 years ago, there was a 28 flying about Mt
Gravatt in SEQ.  Almost certainly an excapee.

Regards, Laurie.

I believe Australian Ringneck is the generally accepted version.

We are a little confused though ? According to Pizzey & Knight
(including
the Eighth Edition) there are two species of Ringneck ? The Eastern or
Mallee Ringneck and the Western Ringneck or Port Lincoln Parrot.
According
to The New Atlas of Australian Birds there is just one species ? The
Australian Ringneck. Does anyone know which is correct? Presumably if there
is only one species, then our sighting of a ?Western? Ringneck is less
interesting ? although the bird definitely has the Western Ringneck plumage
(according to the image in Pizzey & Knight).
