Could've been melanistic too, not necessarily albino.#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on May 4, 2011
I'll have to look that one up.#9: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 5, 2011
From my memory, albinism is a lack of all pigment, thus you can identify albinos by their having pink eyes. Otherwise you would have a white individual with normal looking eyes. (Like a lot of white ferrets: http://postimage.org/image/17qcy26uc/ )#10: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on May 5, 2011
Looking it up to confirm, it seems that melanism is the *increase* of melanin - thus black animals. (Like my cat Raven who not only is black, but has a black nose, black claws, and even a black anus (that he shows us all too often).
Leucism (a word I'd never heard before) is the term for the reduced melanin individuals.
Fascinating! Thank you.#11: Byrdie (byrdie) on May 5, 2011
Oops, got that one backwards. Should've known better because I used to breed lutino cockatiels.
