What bird is this, family pet for sure

[GGV8Cruza]

This bird has decided to call the building site home, just wondering what type if it accurately and what could be done to help find an owner. It has a blue ring around one leg with "Kelly 15" on it

Try calling local vet's as people usually start looking there for lost pets.

and if a quiet enquiry doesn't reveal an owner, I'd be looking on Gumtree for a cage. Nice bird, great pet.

theres a cheap shop near home that has full sized cages cheap if ya need!

If it's not sick or injured, why dose it need to be caged ? Enjoy it for what
it is and leave it for others to have the same experience.

Nice looking bird, thanks for sharing.

Looks like a Rainbow Lorikeet... but the colours are darker than normal...
Looks friendly enough...

Not at Box Hill at the moment Lost, job is on hold, closer to the city in Nth Melbourne. He is as tame as, if you walk out of the office he flys after you and lands on your shoulder

im nearly positive its a conure, not sure of the exact name but in process of finding out. watch this space.

[BigJules]

I think it's a juvenile Lorikeet. Ive only seen Golden Conures, but this looks like a native species.

Jules......having owned lorikeets as pets before  the top of the beak looks too wide and overall it looks too long imo

[Mace]

Its a red bellied, blue neck, golden crested speewa parrot!

Mutant form of something 

[MarkGU]

i reckon its this one Jules ............Blue-throated Conure (Pyrrhura cruentata)

[MDSimpson]

I'd say you were pretty spot on there...

[GGV8Cruza]

Just took it down to the local vet, hopefully they can find the owner of  the bird, they had no idea of species

A couple of other shots for the bird lovers

Watch the keyboard on the laptop  , Might need a clean afterward. 

[Bird]

if not claimed in a few days you get to keep it?

Would be sweet

[MarkGU]

put the two pics together.
i reckon the one you have GG is a young bird,probably why he is so tame and friendly.

[jeb1900]

Nice bird, it's amazing that he somehow escaped his owners. 

[Kit_e_kat9]

If it's tame then it's been hand raised.  Someone will definitely be looking for it.  Personally, the local vet isn't your best Lost & Found for animals.  Head to the RSPCA website pronto and list it as Found.
