Albino Sparrow?

[pusskin]

we think we have a beautiful white albino sparrow flecked with a few brown feathers. Has anyone ever seen one, or could it be a bird we have never seen in our garden before?

Albino sparrows are certainly seen in the UK

but they're so rare that a sighting in Oz seems enough for the Daily Wail to run a (sad) story about it!

We had a 50/50 pied sparrow hen visiting us every day for at least three years, The last year one of her babies was also pied. Then they all disappeared. Easy prey for the cats, I suppose.
