"Unknown Parrot" in Sabah
Hi fsp,
I think the parrot in your photos is Blue-naped Parrot (Tanygnathus lucionensis). The MacKinnon and Phillipps Field guide (Birds of Borneo Sumatra, Java and Bali) says: "A feral population is found around Kota Kinabalu". According to Smythies's "The birds of Borneo" they have been there since 1962 !

John,
Thanks a lot! I only get the New Holland field guide to the Birds of South-east Asia and can't identify what parrot it is. Thanks again for your help. Post amended.
