Does this bird have an lutino gene? Jan 13, 2013 5:40:02 GMT

Coming back from a wonderful holiday at the beach, I found this little baby surprise in the aviary. I thought she was going to be a lutino. I have never seen a bird with this type of colouring before. She looks like a lutino (no black on head or wings, although appears to have a pale marking around the eyes) but does not have the red eyes and his/her chest is a pale grey. Would s/he have a lutino gene, or how does this work? I'm not trying to sound too ignorant...

What a beautiful little guy. If your budgie has the lutino gene, he'd either be visual(which he's not)or split (hidden). He looks like some type of yellowface, maybe spangle greywing/dilute. What are the parents mutations?

The eyes are black.

His/her mother is a blue spangle, very much like her sibling sitting next to her. His/her father is a pale grey and yellow budgie, same colours as her but with the normal pale black budgie markings (not spangle).
Sorry, I'm relatively new to the genetic colouring of budgies and realise that this becomes very complicated very quickly.

The gen can even come from grandparents.

Shame I cannot see the comparison picture as it was taken off. This budgie's aunt now had 3 babies with similar colouring. Very pale black markings, but not as pale as this bird. It must be in the family and I'm glad I got the brother and sister parents this season!
