Rosella hybrids are relatively common. I have
a pair of Eastern Rosella x Pale-headed Rosella hybrids around my area at the
moment.
At one time in the 60s, in one day in the same
location, two of us saw Crimson Rosellas, Pale-headed Rosellas and Eastern
Rosellas with PH x Eastern, PH x Crimson and Eastern x Crimson
hybrids. Unfortunately, the area involved is now covered in houses.
If you include juvenile Crimsons (which often cause problems with ID) we had
lots of fun trying to separate 7 different looking rosellas.
