Default Something unusual on the feeder today...

Soft blue and even white variations also exist although the colour variants rarely occur in wild populations or last for long due to them being more easily targeted by predators. I had a blue male and yellow female many years ago - my intention being to breed them for whites. Their incessant screeching put paid to that plan and I passed them back to the breeder.
