An interesting hybrid development

Dear Frank

Here in Bayside, Melbourne (mainly at Ricketts Point), we recorded what 
appeared to be scaly-breastedXmusk lorikeets between 1997 and 2002. One was 
sharing a nesting hollow with a Scaly.
But inter-breeding between Rainbows and Scalys (which I think Forshaw said 
might be one species anyhow) is so frequent at Ricketts Point that I wonder 
if any of the Scalys is pure bred.
Incidentally in the 1970s a Little Lorikeet was reported to be sharing a 
nest with a Rainbow - no offspring were noticed..
