Thanks Daniele. I see wikipedia says "Escapes have also bred on occasion in other places, such as Florida...." There are also other mentions that say in England and parts of Europe this is a feral species originally introduced as an ornamental bird. But other than the wikipedia article I didn't see mentions about this species in the USA. I wonder what it's impact is on the indigenous wildlife.
