Notice most of these "mutations" are white or partial white feathering...wouldn't they just be a case Leucism? which also enhances colours such as reds and yellows and lightens or whitens the blacks browns and greys (gene defective of producing melanin) ... as in white kangaroo, crocodile etc?....... rather then albino (pink eyes)

Agree most are probably black eyed whites as opposed to albinos.
