Thread: albino sparrow

  1. #1

    Default albino sparrow

    I think I may have an albino sparrow in my garden. It is cream coloured and always with sparrows and looks like a sparrow. Has anyone come across this with sparrows before.

    Hi,

    I saw one in my garden the other day. I was a little surprised and tried get a picture of it on my camera. I am not very good at using the camera and if I manage to suss it out, I will post the picture of this bird later on.

    You are so lucky to have this wee visitor to your garden and glad the other birds are accepting it okay.

    I am glad that you posted this query as I saw a white bird in amongst a whole pile of others and thought that I must have been seeing things!!!
