Can anyone help me identify this little juvenile bird. It arrived on my balcony today in the middle of a storm. About the size of a robin, white with very bright yellow patches.
I actually thought it was a canary at first!! |

Could both canaries in recent posts be actually one?

Yet another aviary escapee or released, the second photo looks odd, have you enhanced it with image software?

Thanks for all the responses!
No, the photos haven't been enhanced - the second one is actually a shot of the bird sleeping. As soon as he landed, he tucked his head under his left wing and slept for around 20 minutes! |
