Description
Alexandrine parakeet
Native to India, the Alexandrine parakeet is named after Alexander the Great. There isn't as far as I know, a native population in Australia.
It must escaped from its owner. I've seen the parrot a few times lately. Their call is very distinctive.

Thank you Lucy!
I haven't heard him close up, but I can hear him when he is in the bush opposite my place. He does two high pitch tweets. On the weekend, I heard him in the bush, so I went out and waited for him to appear. After about 15 minutes I saw him. I managed to get a few shots. That noise he makes is so distinctive. I hear it while I'm working. I've done a search of missing birds in the local area, but I haven't had any luck locating his owner. He must be surviving okay.

It was my pleasure Peter 
for any missing birds in the area, maybe he doesnt want to go back to
whoever owns him. Maybe he feels better free like they were meant to
be. I believe this is the one you told me about before? He must be surviving
okay. I like the sounds he makes.

They are valuable birds Lucy. (about $300-$600) I hope he hangs around for a while.

I hope he hangs around your place for good 
there in your garden. They are expensive.
