Bl & White Mannikin & Spice Hybrid

Post by JohnBoy » Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:56 pm

Bird on left is hybrid, center bird Bl & Wh Mannikin and Spice on right. Pic is not very good but I found it interesting that the three stayed together while taking the pic. Notice that the bill on the hybrid is silver blue like the mannikin.

It has that mannikin look from the center of the chest up...it is gold in the belly and chest...is it speckled? Looks different yet so interesting.
