Small bright long-tailed bird, the UK's only naturalized parrot (8)

I believe the answer is:

parakeet

(Other definitions for parakeet that I've seen before include "Colourful singer" , "Brightly-coloured African bird" , "Flier" , "Take pear (anag) - bird" , "Type of parrot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
