Haven't a clue Robin but he's a stunner!
Hope you get an ID and that it'll be ok?
Obviously an escapee do you think? |

Thanks Ruth, my best guess is White-fronted Parrot (Amazona albifrons) obviously someone's escaped pet. At least the weather's getting warmer so should survive if the Sprawks don't get it  |

Hi robin yes I'd agree with WF Amazon. How tame is it? is there any way he could catch it? I doubt it would last long by itself in this weather. |

I've had a Senegal Parrot around me for over 3 years now + often consorting with the local Ring-necks. Mamy years ago I remember an African Grey that survived for some years with Ring-necks. |

My friends Parrot has just gone missing and looks just like that.I hope it does ok because it is so cold out there and an indoor bird would not be used to the change in temperature.I agree with Natureguy. |

It may not have been an indoor bird- possibly from an outside aviary! | | |
