okay so I was looking at a site which had lots of descriptions of budgie mutations and now I'm wondering whether Holly (who is now a whole year old :hap:) is really an albino or if he is a double factor spangle.

 

My main question is do albinos get iris rings? The site I was on seemed to suggest that they don't, and said that DF spangles do have irises that lighten with age - but I'm unsure if I've interpreted this right so thought I'd check with the experts!!

 

Holly is completely white (though he does reflect a little pale sky blue in some lights) and if you look very carefully you can just about make out wing markings on him which are ever so slightly darker than his main body colour. He has reddish eyes and has iris rings now that he is a big boy.

 

So...albino or DF spangle?

He is an albino with the red eyes, and yes INO's have iris rings.
