okay, I'm a little confused. I have one lutino (i think girl, her cere is all pinkish tan, but i dont remember the rules to sexing lutinos). she is all yellow with lighter yellow flights. Her eyes are red, but sometimes I think I see an iris ring??? Do any of them get one or am I just seeing things? I would love to get a picture of her, but she is the most timid in the aviary and goes every other direction i go! So I cant ever get close enough to see her eyes, grrrr, (Laughing out loud)

I believe if they get an iris ring then they are not Lutinos they are Dark Eyed Clears, but if you see the red in the eye that would be the recessiveness.

 

There are two mutations which show up on the lutino/albino. Cinnamon causes the head and wing markings to show up in a light brown color, creating the lacewing variety. Yellowface causes the albino, normally all white, to show different degrees of pale yellow. These budgies are sometimes called creamino. If it is a yellowface type I the yellow will be restricted to the mask area. If it is a yellowface type II, all the albino's feathers will be a creamy off-yellow color. The cere of the male lutino/albino budgie does not change normally. Adult male lutinos/albinos have purple ceres. Adult female lutinos/albinos have the normal white/tan/brown ceres.
