 On the 18/2/99 on the road to Maryborough(off rd to Tin Can Bay & 
Rainbow Beach, SE QLD)I witnessed several small flocks of Yellow-tailed 
Black Cockatoos feeding on the local pine plantations.As a flock of 
approx. 12 birds flew across the road in front of me, I noticed one of 
the birds partly, if not predominately had it's plumage mottled with 
yellow feathers.The bird was only in view for a few seconds & could not 
be located afterwards.
 I am familiar with genetic mutations like this in aviculture, such as 
'pieds', although pieds usually exhibit abnormal white feathers.Has 
anyone else seen something similar in the field?
