The Lutino is a pretty common
mutation. They appear yellow or white, but always with a yellow face.
When they were first discovered in 1958 in Mr. Barreinger's aviaries in
Florida. Mr. Barreinger did not make a lot of progress until Mrs.
Moon acquired some of his birds, she was a well established breeder.
The Lutino was at a price of $750 to $1000 dollars a pair! Until
1968. At first they called the lutino an albino. This was not
true of coarse because an albino is all white with red eyes. They
later named it Lutino.
