OT: What are these red birds?

[Graham.]

Defiantly not a normal sight in suburban North Manchester.

Some species of Australian galah, parrot, parakeet or South American macaw, escaped either from a wildlife park or from someone's home. A galah was reported missing by the Tameside and Glossop branch of the RSPCA about a year ago.

I can't see the picture, but funnily enough down here somebody reckoned they had seen what they described as a pair of Rusty Parakeets over Tolworth. Maybe they are just that, yet another interloper from a collection of some kind. Brian
