Wow ...nice .

The white/cinnamon makes them look softer and cuter. Good luck with the breeding program.

Love the Woodies, Danny.

I saw a fawn sparrow out the back of Woolies in Wagga last week.
Never seen one before, and of course didn't get a photo....

I have a friend who lives in Wagga and is interested in these mutant sparrows. He might be lucky enough to take a photo as he picks up the mail from the PO boxes each day. Mat are you referring to the Market place Woolies and out the back, do you mean near the Woolies loading dock or behind the post office.

Near the loading docks, last Monday morning at about 0930h.
Love to see a photo.

Today I saw these Little Corellas. They don't seem to be hybrids from what I can see. If there were only one I would have thought the bird was just dirty but after seeing both I assume they arre from the same nest. There were other corellas nearby also (as well as the galahs in the photos).

Anyone seen this previously?

Thats different.

Stained feathers like that I would suspect Beak and Feather disease or some other funky disease .
Or perhaps the nest /roost got waterlogged , they certainly look OK apart from the staining .

WOW! I don't think that they are just dirty or diseased, the colours are too consistent, (scalloping on the feathers etc.)
If it is a natural mutation, people would pay a fortune for them. Anything the colour of mud seems to command premium prices. (Look what they have done to the Red-rumped parrot and Scarlet-chested overseas.) If the other Corellas were pure white then I think caramel might be the colour of the month.

The corella's look healthy to me. Are these 2 birds normally found in your area or is this a lucky chance finding. Great photos as well
