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.

Nice The Aussie Yellow looks lighter coloured and have more white compared US Yellow.

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.
