Beautiful Albino Cockatiel Bird for Sale

Description

Albino Cockatiel 

Beautiful Albino Cockatiel Bird for Sale is not actually albino, and it’s  been said that a better name for it  would be White-Faced Lutino Cockatiel because it  is a combination of a Lutino Cockatiel and a White-Faced Cockatiel. The Lutino has red eyes, white to pale yellow feathers, and orange patches on its cheeks and the White-Faced Cockatiel is grey with a white or light gray face. Both the Lutino and the White-Face are mutations, which makes the Albino Cockatiel a dual mutation.

History and Origin of  Albino Cockatiel Bird 

There is not much information  on how the Beautiful Albino Cockatiel Bird for Sale originated. The “normal grey” Cockatiel has been bred for a variety of color mutations since the 1940s, and the Lutino was the second color mutation introduced in the United States. The White-Faced Cockatiel made its first appearance in 1964 and is a common mutation today.

Cross breeding the White-Faced and Lutino together is what gives the Albino Cockatiel it’s unique appearance. The Lutino gene removes the grey and black color of the White-Faced and adds the red eyes, and the White-Faced gene eliminates all of the orange and yellow coloring of the Lutino. In the end, you have an all-white bird with red eyes, which is not a true albino but has been given the name, nonetheless.
