I reckon they would pending colours,white or pied would be very conspicuous? to predators and your local sparrows, honeyeaters etc.
I think it is also illegal to release caged birds even natives though i once thought of releasing Double Bars many years ago before licensing in Vic.

Unless the birds are totally free of any mutation genes then you couldn't even consider releasing them or any other specie.
To release birds that may look normal but split to a mutation is basically avian terrorism.

I have never and would never do it. Give them to a local kid of 8/11yrs with the parents permission and get another future birdo started. But have heard far to many rumours of it happening round here for at least 1 to be true.
