Determining Gender in Albinos and Lutinos?

Pammy: If you want to be sure that you get a hen with 100% accuracy, white is your friend. Any baby with white on their cere is going to be female. Yes, it is true that I say that boys are very easily identifiable and what is difficult to figure out is female. However, this can be tricky in a pet store setting. The birds are not in optimal health, they may have minor scuffs or some hormone imbalances from stress. This is just the reality of the pet trade. Even in the most conscientious and caring pet store owner cannot take as good care of all his animals as they will receive when they go into the home, there is just not enough time for that one on one care. As a result, sometimes ceres that are really on the fence and confusing turn out to be male, because they become more vivid with better health or lose a mark that was caused by stress or scuffs in the pet store.

If you want to be CERTAIN you are getting females, then you should look for any white on the cere. It could be the whole cere, the nostril rings or a white band around the beak with pale blue above. White is right Also, birds with very obviously multicolored ceres are a safer bet: some pale blue, blush of pink with some pale nostril rings? That's a girl.
