A Perth mother and daughter have spotted a one-in-a-million albino magpie in Perth's inner suburbs on Monday.
Tamara Smith was working for her family's gardening company when she spotted the baby white magpie in an Inglewood backyard.
"My daughter and I sat down on a retaining wall just to have a break and I heard a baby bird cry," she said.
"I looked over and I said, 'Wow what is that bird?' to my daughter, and she said, 'I think it's a magpie because the mother came up to her and fed her'.
"Luckily I took some photos of it."
Ms Smith first thought the rare magpie was a kookaburra until she saw it interact with its mother.
"I've never seen anything like it before," she said.
WAtoday has previously reported on an albino magpie being spotted in Belmont in 2013.
Both birds have a form of albinism called leucism.
The rare condition results in a dilution of the normal magpie's colour.
Around one in a million magpies are albinos, according to the WA Museum.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Parks and Wildlife said the bird was not likely to be treated differently by other magpies, despite its different appearance.
