    Odd Lovebird Color Mutation

    I have a strange color mutation lovebird (at least strange to me). When she was born she looked to be an albino, solid white with pink eyes. Now that she's a little older she has dark red eyes and is a cream color with a very light pastel colored peach and yellow running threw her tail and wing tips. To make things stranger her mother is a blue white face and her dad is a lutino. I didn't know it was possible for these two colors to make this mutation. Is this a know color mutation? If so whats the mutation called? How common is it to produce? Any input or thoughts would help.

    Hi BirdCrazie, welcome to the forum
    Do you perhaps have a photo you can show of this bird?
    I have not heard of such a mutation but nature can make many things happen

    Thank you! I haven't heard of such a mutation either. I've been almost pulling my hair out to find one. It wont let me put the picture on here it says its to large. But if you click on my profile I have her as my profile picture.

    Odd Lovebird Color Mutation

    Ohh very unusual indeed ! It might be a mutation that is happening as a one time thing and by chance. As I said 'things happen' in nature (rarely but still)

    You can resize photos online did you know? There are those free sites that do that, like

    I think your right on the one time thing by chance. I had a breeder offer me a nice amount of money for her so it got me courious about her mutation. Thanks for your input. No I didn't know that about the pictures, I'll have to put it in my favorites and try it out. Thanks again

    I am sure she will have lovely 'babies' - the breeder must know where he is talking about
