Can anyone answer a question on rosella
hybrids.
Near Mt Gambier SA we have a bird which resembles
an Eastern Rosella but has a lot more red around the head and chest area, I am
familiar with the "Fiery Parakeet" and this is not it. The bird is a male, the
red on the breast comes right to perch level and it has red flanks, the odd
thing is that it has purplish-blue cheek patches.
Would this as I believe signify a hybrid as opposed
to a colour mutation.
Also does anyone know of any papers or reports etc
that deal with rosella hybrids where I can find some more info.
