The mudbath look on the corellas is quite attractive. Would go down well if it was a mutation. But being cockies is probably just a case of cocky is a grub.

Yes . . Lutino Rainbow :soppy:

But it is a 'naughty one' . . The lutino gene was transferred from Lutino Scaleys

UNLESS

This is a 'natural' as the first Lut. Scaley was

Yeah is quite common to find scaleys breeding with Musks and Rainbows to get the Lutino gene and breeders think its just another pairing and quite OK :thumbdown:

Funny ( not really ) that finch keepers on the whole are against hybrids where parrots breeders (not this one ) think its OK .

Beautiful bird anyway and it cant help how it came to be .

I managed to get this photo of the cream or white noisy miner that started this thread at AMCA26's place just before Xmas, it seems to have black or dark coloured eyes.

A few people have mentioned magpie mutations. Well a friend of mine showed me this the other day and said I could put it up here. The photo was taken in South Australia

Cinnamon changes the black melanin to brown. To me, that looks more like a dilute.
