I have a friend who has a budgie and when they got him he looked like a normal albino with red eyes and white feathers. But over a few years his plumage has changed a fair bit. He now has pale brown markings over the white. Sorry no picture but could anyone tell me what his mutation is?

Thankyou, I think that is it.

Or sometimes it can be an albino carrying cinnamon .... I had a couple pop out the year before last :rip:

Yeah, really weird. The owners think he's just a regular albino.

All my albino's have very faint brown markings on them too... and they are just Albinos...

Then I would hazzard a guess that they too are carrying cinnamon.

Yep... I hope to breed it out oneday... I hope... I love the albino and seeing the cinnamon on them really does ruin the look of them... To me anyways...

Maybe but not necessarily. My albinos and clearbodies are one line. There is no cinnamon in that line and I occaisionally get birds with faint brown markings - possibly from the clearbody influence.

I never thought of that... Thanks PJ... As I'm also going to breed clearbodies may try that & see if they are... Thank you again...
