Seeing as the story is from "The Mail", I would tend to think that thestory is a load of orchis. Perhaps though, there is the possibilitythat the sparrow has been feeding on something that contains a bluedye, similar to how the strain of domestic canary, the Red Factor,which is fed on a special food containing a dystuff which causes a redcoloration in the feathers.


Cheers,
