Just spotted in garden (Underhill Rd): what looked like white Budgerigar with blue tail feathers

[IlonaM]

I just saw what looked like a lost/escaped Budgerigar - predominantly white with blue tail feathers. It landed in my garden before flying on.

I am at the Horniman/South Circular end of Underhill Rd SE22.

In case anyone is looking...

There was someone who lost a blue budgie recently on one of the local Facebook forums.

I'll see if I can find the post.

Sadly she says it  isn't hers, which is all blue.

Though I have never seen a white budgie? Could it have looked white because of sun shining on it or something?

It seems unlikely that there could be two escaped budgies in the area at the same time?

Hi Sue,

Thanks for following this up. I was drawn to the bird because it was all white (as far as I could see) with beautiful blue tailfeathers. It looked domestic rather than wild. I am hoping it might be attracted to the bird feeders again. Next time I'll try to get a photo - too surprised and too quickly gone last time!

Best wishes,

Ilona

Well, lost or not, at least it's surviving so far! ❤️
