Introducing Miss Lola! She will be on a plane from Alaska on Tuesday to come live in sunny San Diego. She was born this March and is the first of my many fids to have a legband!

Mary that is great!! I almost took Lola myself but had a huge vet bill and could not pay the shipping. I'm glad to see she is going to a wonderful home. She is a gorgeous bird.

Keep us posted

very pretty.

Yes, she is a creamino. I am going to have to read up on my genetics -- the current owner was telling me that she has to be a girl to be that color because of her parents.

Do you know what colour her parents are?

Nope, but maybe I can find out.

She is home!

Seems happy, healthy and just the tiniest bit unsure (after 12 hr on planes, I would be much grumpier than she is). Pictures soon!

I would put a bet that her parents were a turquoise mutation with a normal colour mutation (both either blue or grey etc)

The male would have to have been split Ino, as with two normal parents where the male is split ino, only young hens can be visual ino birds (albino). Its a sex-linked genetic thing. Males can only be split ino (non visual).

It is the only way for the owners to have known it was a hen.
