Pure White Bird

by Maureen
(Woodstock, Ontario)

I live in Southwestern Ontario near Woodstock. We had a pure white bird at our bird feeder this morning. It was a little bigger than a finch. I have never seen it before. Just wondered what kind of bird it is or could it be an albino bird.

Thanks, Maureen, I wonder if you could get a picture of the bird next time it comes to your bird-feeder - we would love to see it, and perhaps one of our readers could identify it.

starstarstarstarstar 		Albino Bird?
by: Maria

My husband saw a pure white bird today (Nov 3/22) the size of a sparrow. We live in Niagara Region, Ontario.
We were wondering if this bird could be an albino bird.
We got a picture but it’s not a good one.

On my lawn, a little smaller than a hen, smooth feathers, legs shorter than a hen. Let me walk right up to it. Then if flew straight up almost height of tree, then flew over field and over house.

This is second time I have seen this bird. Pure White. It was about the size of the largest Sparrow, but a little more streamlined. Tried to get a picture, but had dead batteries. Hopefully there will be another chance

I had a pure white bird at the feeder with a flock of rosey and yellow finches - first time I have ever seen that. On Good Friday no less. Is it an albino? Live in Baysville, Ontario.

Interesting reading this morning, as I also had what appears to be an Albino Finch at the feeder this morning. In the N4T 1V2 neigbourhood. Wondering where the other location in Woodstock was?

Any species of bird can have individuals that are Albino - I have seen albino Sparrows and an albino Finch in with a flock of regular finches. I once saw an albino Peacock at a zoo as well, so any type of bird can show up as an albino now and again.
