I have a confession to make

[Pearl]

So weather the Catholic view or protestant view is correct becomes irrelevant cos im saved either way...

Actually CR, there is only one view that counts and that's God's view.

Hey @Backlit ... What on earth is that bird in your avatar???
Its shaped like a rainbow parakeet but the coloration is something ive never seen b4

It's so unique right,? I noticed the pic on the Facebook page for Australian native birds. Most on the page considered it a rainbow lorikeet mixed with something else I can't remember. So pretty though huh.

Take heart, CR, the Holy Spirit leads us into ALL truth. God gives wisdom to those who ask with a pure heart.

Only you and God know your heart CR. Only you and Him know if you have that 'emotional connection' to Jesus that somebody spoke of.

Ye but i don't think u can mix bird breeds like you can with dogs...
I can't think of any birds that came about that way and the bird breeders i know have never attempted such a thing...

OK after a search i learnt that 15% of the worlds birds can interbreed... The rainbow lorikeet is one of them... So then...

That beak is the rainbow parakeets in shape and colour...
It has the rainbows head shape but those colors are odd...
The body is hard to see the shape in that pic but its that yellow that has me wondering...
Other similar birds are the King parrot, Princess, Swift, Mulga, several other Lorikeets, Ring necks, Lorries...
But none of em have that yellow colour...

Maybe its a fluke mutation

We had a 'fluke' blackbird in our garden a few years ago. And what's the bird in your avatar?

@Pearl Sometimes I find it's hard to keep the camera still to get such a shot; you did well!

Thanks farouk, and it was through the window. It was definitely a blackbird as it had all the mannerisms; cocking its head to one side, being still then pecking etc. I've heard of white, albino blackbird but this was unusual and I never saw it again. Perhaps the other birds attacked it cos it was different.

@Pearl Interesting how birds have their mannerisms!

Yes they are different. The robin redbreast is cheeky and bossy, the long-tailed tits are groupies and the sparrows are just adorable plain janes or johns.

My old avatar was a cockatiel which looked like my old pet...

This is some kind of pigeon that i saw in my back garden... It ended up being someones pet that had got away and flown almost 100km...
Poor thing was so hungry and thirsty... I spun out when i saw it drink. Very different from other birds... These ones can skull

@Pearl Such a variety.... A back yard can sometimes be a real zoo, with birds...

We get all sorts of birds and I love them all but one of my favourites that comes to the feeder is a nuthatch.
