White Grey-crowned Babblers.

[Barry Davies <>]

Recently I found two white Babblers foraging with a normal one on a 
property west of the Gold Coast. They are not albinos as they don't have 
pink eyes and they have some dark feathers. They have apparently been 
around for between 12 and 18 months in the same location.  I have not 
revealed the exact location because, as with the concerns about the 
Painted Honeyeater nest, I am concerned that there might be unscrupulous 
people out there who might collect mutations such as these. Am I being 
paranoid or is this a realistic concern?  To see the photos go to 
http://photobucket.com/ and type in gondwana_photo in the search box.
Has anyone else ever seen Babblers like these?
Regards,
