Those markings are not normal but are almost certainly the result of
psittacine beak and feather (circovirus) disease.
See how the bird is missing flight feathers? Supposing it comes down the
ground it should be euthanised
sorry about the blunt and miserable assessment. If you want to know more
write to me off list and I will have some time this evening to put some
links together.
storm, who has euthanised far too many birds for the 'crime' of having
circovirus.

Hi birders,
Friends of mine saw this juvenile King Parrot in their yard at Mt. Riverview
and wondered if the yellow wing markings were normal. I have hosted the
pictures on the below links. I can forward any responses to them.
Thanks for any help.
