Happy New Year to everyone. Two days ago, we noticed a group of corellas on a 
bird-feeder at a friends' house in Samford, Q. At least 3 were definite 
Long-bills while most were LC's. However, about 5 seemed to be a mixture of the 
two - with beak length intermediate, more pink between eye & bill and throat 
pink patchy & sparse - the jizz just didn't seem to fit. Could this be possible 
& if so, is it common???
