Originally reported at https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/4238086 but splitting the sighting as this juvenile may be a hybrid
Original text "There were two Crimson Rosellas in a tree previously used by Gang-gangs for breeding, although they were on the side used by Rainbow Lorikeets last year. One of the rosellas was a juvenile who may have been close to being a fledging as its feathers appeared to not be complete yet. The other bird was an adult. The adult was close to the hollow used by the Rainbow Lorikeets last year so I am not sure if the rosellas had used it this year. It was preening itself and occasionally calling."

Are there any other opinions on this sighting. I am now unsure but still possibly in favour of hybrid.

If no one else has other opinions on this sighting i would be happy to confirm as Hybrid. (Still looks like yellow than green to me).

Luke, I am not good with hybrid IDs, so happy with what you and Ryu decide.

I have confirmed as I believe hybrid is most likely but slight chance it may be a juvenile Crimson Rosella.
