Wild Lorikeet Hybrids 3 in 1 (Photos)
Just thought I would share some photos I took in January. :)
I was camping and saw these very strange lorikeets hanging around. When I got home I did some research and got some help from others and discovered what I already suspected... they are wild hybrids! Here are the rainbow lorikeet X scaly breasted lorikeet X musk lorikeet:    Here's another one, I thought it was a normal scaly breast but it may be another hybrid?  And a silly magpie I saw there as well. :)

They all look like hybrids to me! Scaly's don't have any blue on their foreheads! And I take it it's assumed that they are musk hybrids due to the red on the head?? although the color seems to extend pretty far back....
If possible, I'd *love* to get the original photos of at least the first two images to put into an online hybrid gallery with credit going to you for the pictures!!!

Thank you for the pictures! It seems that everyone here that is from Australia is trying to make the rest of us jealous!

Can't say I'm a fan for some of the lorikeet mutations... they just don't appeal to me...
