Not a bird breeder but seems to be a Lutino Lorikeet

Nah  , Stick with the top notch and bonze wing pidgins'.
Those lorikeets are as tough as an old boot Mate :diablo::laugh2:

Hardly worth the effort... can't be more than one decent mouthful there! KFC is a better bet, I reckon. :angel:

Yeah definately a yellow lorikeet.We get pink sulphur crested cockatoos
in our white flocks over here and they're not major mitchells.Some are pink and white so you can get colour variations in most parrots although they are not common in the wild

yes steve , thanks very much , I just googled it when you gave me  the word [ lutino ] and you were spot on . beautiful colours
 I don't believe in putting birds in cages as they were meant to be free and that is why they have wings , just to fly .. but I hope he comes back tomorrow again as I have been feeding birds for years now but I have never seen him before , maybe he got away from some cage or avary , so that is so good to see him free again , I have no intention of catching him and seeing him put back in jail , no way ..  born free , stay free , that's what I say ..    ,, kel ,,
