It escaped, or was deliberately released, from captivity in the UK. They are actually quite shy birds, often hiding beneath overhanging willows and usually only forming small flocks. How to identify…
The adult female is identical in appearance to the adult male except that her lower mandible is orange-red with a black tip. The adult male has a black beak. The Juvenile is similar to the adult, but with duller and greener upperparts and paler underparts. Its bill is black, and the legs are also initially black. CRUSH Photography©
