Hi All,
No Photos of this, but when we lived a Boggabilla/Goondiwindi some
years ago, there was a natural pairing of a Galah and Little Corella
that had been bringing their offspring to feed at the neighbour's caged
Galah (with flocks of other Galahs) for about 40 years. The offspring
never lasted more than a season, but each year they'd be back with a
fresh set - all like pale, washed-out Galahs, with a distinct yellow
"wash". during our time there, we found a dead Corella on the highway,
and this pair stopped coming, so it seemed that particular pairing had
come to an end. A local lady also enjoyed cross-breeding parrots, and
she had a Pale-headed Rosella/Australian Ringneck hybrid escape, which
visited our garden for a couple of days before disappearing.

Hi All,
Saw a Pale-headed Rosella paired up with an Eastern Rosella feeding in
a grevillia yesterday in Carrara on the Gold Coast in Queensland which
made me wonder what the young of such a pairing look like. Does anyone
have any photos or know of a birding page where i can view some photos
of these birds. I have used the example of various species cross
breeding in the wild before whilst giving talks to classes about birds
and i'm sure the kids would also like to see some photos. Looking
forward to everyones replies.
Yours Sincerely
Mr Jade Welch
