Gooday all again

Just had a thought. Is it possible a person is using something like a
water pistol to squirt blue dye onto the birds. White Ibis a easily
approached in some areas.

People might remember the blue Australian White Ibis seen last year,
very 
similar to the blue colour of the sparrow. A couple of months ago the
blue 
Ibis was at Freshwater Creek Wetlands at Chullora and it was in moult
with 
the blue feathers being replaced by white feathers. I would suggest that

there is a connection here with the blue sparrow.
