But both birds are Eastern Rosellas.
A world without birds is a world not worth living in :)

FYI there are hybrids listed on the current NSW native list - http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/resou ... esList.pdf
I don't think there's anything official/legal to prevent hybrids of native species.

My understanding it is illegal to hybridise native species in Victoria or to house/pair birds together that could hybridise. It doesn't apply to subspecies as they are generally not listed individually on our schedules.
Someone with a better knowledge of the Vic Regulations than I, could expand.
Having been to Castle Hill sale several times it would appear that crossing everything that moves is common practice in NSW.
