I'm less than a quarter mile from there, looks like the same bird, at least judging from the crappy cell phone pics I have.

We used to hunt those at the Dike at Hatches. At the end of the P-town Airport runways. Try thet now....
Ringnecks are a non-native species all are stocked. We called them with a small box of BBs. Sounded like the pellets that they were fed at the farm.

You are right that they are not a native species, they originally came from China. But you are not right that they are all stocked, they can and do breed almost everywhere in the U.S.
