Birds are not part albino they either carry the gene or they don't . It is impossible to tell if a male is carrying the ino gene. Recessive pieds are not all white, is that what you are saying? They have patches of blue between their legs and the marks on their wings are splotched around. If your bird is all white and he has red eyes he would also be an ino or he could be a Dark Eyed Clear if his eyes look plum. Does this bird have visible iris rings? Like suggested, please take a picture of Snowy without a flash in natural daylight and a close up of the cere and eye if possible. In our FAQ we have a great mutation section also to review. Sorry about that, she is actually a Dark Eyed Clear. I've recently discovered that they are both in fact female, so I obviously can't breed them But thanks for all your help!

Sorry, it's my fault! I'm really clueless when classifying budgie species I've researched it a bit more and Snowy is actually a Dark Eyed Clear Thanks so much guys for your input! I'm pretty sure that they're both girls now, thanks to all your help

Snowy: white recessive pied, pure white, black eyes (with a tiny red circle in the middle - he may be part albino) Strawberry: albino, pure white, red eyes Questions: Would the chicks all be white? What colour would their eyes be? Is there the possibility of other colour mutations? Thanks for your help!

Thanks guys So the second one's a girl. I'm really unsure about the first one. Strawberry is albino, and I think the methods of sexing albinos are slightly different? When we first got him/her, the cere was pink without any white. However, in the past few weeks, whitish/pale rings have appeared on the cere. Strawberry is less aggressive than Snowy, but quite active. I'm hoping Strawberry is a boy, because I want to have little white baby budgies! But if it's a girl, we'll love it just as much anyway

Wow, it's like a budgie wonderland!!!

Hi all, Here are pics of my darlings, Strawberry (albino with some spinach stains XD) and Snowy (white recessive pied). They are both still quite young. Can you guys please help? Thanks so much
