These are some Aussie pics. Feel free to give me a light but effective spanking if this is not to be shown. I can't recall who the original photo owner was (an AFF member) only that the photos were removed because the bird owner hadn't gone public yet - but now he has.

The cuban melodious mutation is being bred in Cuba, Spain,United States and now in Australia. I have personally gotten in contact with the breeders to discuss genetics and husbandry techniques. In Spain, a lutino mutation has evolved and all efforts are being made to get it establish. The birds are yellow and white with red eyes. I would really be interested in knowing
how the mutation in Australia came about and how long have they been working to get the numbers up. Does anyone have a clue?

We have had a lutino here as well, in the aviary of a friend. A superb blue wren decided he didn't like the mutation and ended the project.

Off topic I know . . but many on AFF have been dismissive of my urgings/ warnings to keep wrens by themselves

No matter how placid they seem, or for how long . . sooner or later

Hello Danny:

The Lutino produced in your friends aviary came from a mutated pair of cubans or normals that might have been splits?

I'm not sure wher it originally came from. I'll see if I can find out.

Here is a cinamon mutation of a cuban melodious female. I have recently acquired this bird and until i breed from her i will not be able to explain much on how the mutation is transmitted. I have only seen one more bird like this one in a magazine called Alcedo from Italy. Attached is a picture of the male with the mutated female from the magazine mentioned and below is pic of my female.
