Re Red-winged Parrot at Anstead.
No doubt this could be a wild bird as Steve has said but in my mind it would be
unlikely but certainly not impossible - I can find no record of this species
recorded in the Greater Brisbane area ( but of course that doesnt mean it
hasnt) - Queensland Museum dont appear to list the species as recorded nor any
other lists ive checked - I would be interested to hear if any birding-aus
member may have records of this species in Brisbane? I keep a checklist of
birds seen in the Greater Brisbane area on my website and I dont have this
species on the list so keen for feedback.
regards
David Taylor
