I’ve counted five plus a few extra possibilities but I’d say five is probably correct so far. Today I saw three grey Indian ringnecks and the same yellow one. The other day I photographed a green one. From observed fly throughs I suspect there are at least one other green and possibly some blues but these latter could simply be the rear view of the greys.

The story goes, build it and they’ll come. The caveat is that not all are wanted to come.

I’ve only seen a wild one once, in Canberra. It was clearly an escaped pet. I’d lay good odds that these are, too.

Congratulations, it’s always good to see birds and other animals that have escaped from prison.

There is clearly at least two blues along with the greys. Seen here with a mallee ringneck for comparison.
