A non native (escaped birds) that have established some very small pockets in a few states.  They are quite striking.

Great colors on this bird. I would like to see it cropped a bit tighter to reduce some of the open space. Would love to see one of these in real life.

Really??? In North America now too. I wouldn't complain about that. Nice shot.
Thanks for looking,

What a beauty. Not sure I like the totally horizontal perch though.
