Maybe the question should be - Is anyone still breeding this mutation?

How old is the bird Jimmy as none seem to reach adult maturity. 🤔
I hope you are not confused with the lutino blue face parrot finch with red eyes.

As I said back in 2017
With luck the stronger gene splits, may from time to time produce a bird.
Which could eventually lead to success - or not.
Only time will tell.
But 8 yrs on is interesting.

There is not a problem with dilutes and some are being bred due to being a stronger mutation but not as appealing as the black eyed yellows imo 😉
If only we could keep them alive though 😕

Maybe those showing up now have been through stronger normals over the past 8Yrs.
Only time will tell.
