kind of grass keet

Question

Answer
Hi Ray,

According to to the book PARROTS A Guide to Parrots of the World by Juniper your description does match that of  a red-rumped parrot (Psephotus haematonotus). However it also matches several other birds commonly referred to as grass keets. For a positive id I recommend you get a copy of the book I mentioned.
