You can start to think a bird is a hybrid if it looks as other birds and the physical zone or area is determined to hold hybrids. In other words, a hybrid is not a hybrid, unless the bird is proven to be a hybrid. One of the best ways to think the bird is a hybrid is if there is a definite change in the structure of the bird, such as changes in the wing length, tail structure, beak structure, also the feet and legs. Possibly, I don’t know— the pattern and color change of a bird might not indicate a hybrid, but might be a start into thinking the bird is a hybrid. Cheers - Nelson Briefer- Anacortes.
