Well you would have to think it more likely that as one is surely an aviary bred bird, the other is highly likely to be also. They may not be escapers, (individuals
who have escaped), they may be releasees (individuals who have been released). As in it could be that someone is intentionally releasing them, maybe hoping to start a colony - although females would be useful.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Zebra Finches
I'm not having much luck at posting this to the chat line - it keeps coming back so will try it with the photo attached to Google Drive. Apologies if anyone has received a post
of this.
Martyn spotted these two Zebra Finches (?) out at Kelly's Swamp this morning The one on the left looks a fairly regular type while the other appears to be the Charcoal
morph as reported before. So where has this other one come from? Another escapee?
