Wouldn't it be a bad thing if it survived and became established in a place
where it doesn't normally occur?

Personally, I would be saddened to think that a bird which was possibly bred in
an aviary
had been released or had escaped into the wild. However, that sadness would be
lessened to a degree
to if it appeared that the bird was surviving well in the "wild".
It would appear from the maps and notes in the first Atlas of Australian Birds
(1984) and the Atlas
of Victorian Birds (1987) that populations of Port Lincoln Parrots (Barnardius
zonarius zonarius)
have been established from aviary escapes.
