Significant sighting

Assuming these are not escapees (which I'd assume given the size of the flock they aren't), this is quite a significant sighting. Scalies rarely come this far south, let alone inland as well!

User's notes

took a trot out with my military shop poncho and just the camera to get out of the house. I thought I was looking at Rainbow Lorikeets because I've had them here before, but every head that popped up was green. Only seen this bird once before in my life. Never in Wodonga!
