Took these at a mates place today,does anyone want to guess what it is.His wife is looking after his birds while he is working away so she doesn't know what birds are feeding it.In the aviary there are,Gouldians,Longtails,Stars,Chestnuts,Spicefinches,and Sea Green Parrot Finches,the smaller birds I haven't mentioned.

Yes I concur Craig...but I personally wouldn't keep Hecks in with Yellow Billed Longtails...Craig52 wrote:G'day Jack,to me it looks like an albino long tail,it is showing a very light coloured bib. Nice Hecks too. Craig

Given that those two are hanging around it, they may be the parents as it's bill is not red or yellow..Craig52 wrote:I wasn't going to say anything as that was the first thing i thought but it must be a true longtail albino because the ones around now came from hecks and retain the red bill. Craig

Jack, is that the same aviary that had the hybrid in it?
If so, I saw a Hecks/blackheart pair preening as was the hybrid to a blackheart.
That worries me. Some people don't think to rmove odd birds, especially hybrids from large breeding aviaries. It's a bit difficult to trap them.
Cheers
