Terry Pacey's unusual rosella sounds to me like a luteinistic sport. It
reminds me of the time in 1976 when I was driving between Ardlethan and
Ariah Park in south NSW, and I saw a similarly coloured bird which was part
of a flock of Red-rumped Parrots, and was in fact paired with a normal
female Red-rump. I wrote it up for the Canberra BOC (?) newsletter at the
time - and that is what more informed people than I considered it to be - a
luteinistic sport.
Interesting!
