User's notes
A bird with crimson rosella plumage but the same size as an eastern rosella and paired with an eastern rosella. Frequently seen together in the garden.

There is no evidence of breeding yet, so I'd suggest separating into 2 sightings for both species, and then if there is a hybrid offspring, then upload another sighting for it.

As above - this seems to be a crimson and an eastern rosella, I wouldn't report a hybrid sighting for this.
