If you bought them together from the same store at the same time, then they could be siblings. We can't know for sure.

If one is a normal green and one is an albino, it s terrifically unlikely that they are related, just like a very fair child with blonde hair and ice blue eyes is unlikely to be born into a family of olive skinned black haired brown eyed people: normal green is a very dominant trait, and albino is as recessive as it gets. I would still feel better if they came from different sources or at least were bought a few weeks apart, just to be sure.
It is next to impossible to know what the offspring of your birds would look like - the albinism trait hides all the other traits your yellow bird might be carrying: pied, dilutions, dark or violet factors - she could be anything. The only thing I will say is that if one parent is yellow and the other is green, then you will have a minimum of 75% yellow/green birds, probably all. If two of the grandparents on either side were blue, you'd have a 25% chance of blue/white, but we can't possibly know that.

Sarah, do you think it's possible that my girls, Noel & December, are sisters? I adopted them the same day, from the same store. When I first got them, you told me they were likely a similar age to one another.

It is not impossible that they could be.... But I have significant doubts. Every trait they do not share makes it less likely they are related directly: Noel is green, December is blue. Noel is a normal December is an opaline. Noel has no dark factors and December has one. I've seen some quite convoluted clutches before, but they usually share more things in common than that.

Good to know. I'll assume they are not sisters. It's all so interesting!

I bought them together with a younger one who was a blue one! I was thinking that maybe the blue one was a son and I bought them off a website kinda like craigslist
