Post by watty »

Hi nope if its is a visual blue ino (albino) then it will never have a ring even if its split.
The split is the mutation gene the bird carries but doent display.

The reason albinos dont show a ring is they have no melanin which produces colour.

Lutinos are green birds that have a lack of melanin show they are yellow and still produce the ring.

Hope it helps.
