Yes
very clever, well done and certainly different You didn't call it a quiz with a
finish date so here goes.........:
A
yellow-faced Star Finch head on a Princess Parrot;
A
Varied Lorikeet head on a King Quail;
A
Bourke's Parrot head on a Black-throated Finch;
The last one is harder, probably a
Tri-coloured Mannikin head on a Turquoise / Scarlet-chested Parrot
hybrid.

With the frequent references to the walk-in aviary
exhibit at ‘Gold Creek, I paid it a visit yesterday. Perhaps something of
more interest to the aviculturist or small children, but a possible venue for a
(short) mid-week walk if that group is running out of new ideas. I was
told that parrots do escape from time to time through holes chewed in the
netting as these are not always immediately picked up. Most escapers are
fairly tame and easily caught. I was struck by the large variety of
aberrant plumages and hybrids. The following is a sample of the more
unusual ones that I noticed.
