Hi;
I am looking for a pic of a true lacewing (combo cinnamon-ino) blue IRN.
Thanks

Hi Julie;
The "lacewings" IRN in the pic gallery are not true lacewings (combo or crossing-over cin-ino) but pallids.
The idea is: combo cin-ino mutation (true lacewing) partially inhibits the complete lost of melanin induced by ino and the bird colouring is a very light green-yellowish (somewhere between green-cin and yellow). I was wondering if this colouring depends of the presence of residual melanin or of residual brown melanine due to incomplete oxidation of melanin induced by cin mutation.
When combined with blue (not psitacine synthesis) we should obtain an almost white bird but the fact that it retains some pigment would produce a different colouring dependent of the kind of pigment:
1. Melanin would induce a very light bluish colour.
2. Broun melanin would induce a brownish colour, specially in flying feathers (durty albino?).
... but I have not seen this kind of bird ...
Cheers
