albino ringneck questions

Post by tanya.l »

Hey everyone , Can anyone tell us if we have a pure albino ? He has a pale blue irredesent shimmer to his feathers in certain light , He also has dark grey skin under his feathers and blackish eyes not pink
He is currently 18mths old .
His tail feathers and wings were hacked when we got him and he looked like a white duck . Since the last molt his feathers have come back in full

He was around 6mths old in the picture and the blue is visible

Hi there,

It is an albino as you can see by the picture you took his eyes are red.

The blue tinge is what is called suffusion.

Thanks Glenn

cool thanks for that the eyes are red due to the flash and are not normally that bright . they are more super dark reddish black colour in the normal light . The blueish tinge was more confusing as albino normally have no pigments
