Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Do you reckon this a part-albino sparrow? If so, is it common to see one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 It does look like a sparrow in every other way doesn't it. Could you send a copy to the newspaper or Bill Oddie for an opinion. Is it in your garden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'm not sure what it is.....we have a pair of albino black (or should i say white) birds that visit our garden. Maybe its a very young one, with its fluff..... xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 It's been coming to the feeder right outside our living room window for a few days now. The picture was taken through the window (hence slightly fuzzy quality) and then zoomed in. OH reckons it's an albino - he's a bit of a bird expert. I thought I might send it into Bill Oddie but wanted to run it past someone first in case it's really common! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 It's not totally white, so not strictly and albino - they are totally lacking in colour and have red eyes. There are some crows aroud here, who have white patches like that. Worth sending in to Bill Oddie or someone similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
