Pictures Is this lovebird rare?

[Lucy-Whey]

Hi, this is my first time posting.
I have a Lovebird chick who is completely pale yellow. He’s very pretty and I haven’t seen one like this before. So I was wondering is he rare and how much do you think I should charge for him? Thanks.

Rare is kind of determined by where you are in the world. In Southern California, I would say they aren't rare but probably not common for a typical bird store. Cute baby though!

Hello Lucy, welcome to the Avenue

Your chick looks Aqua Ino or something like that, red eyes would be consistent. And I see you have chicks of both green and *blue, so they are split.

I don´t know about costs and money. Check listings for lovebird chicks in your area, see if there are others and what price they go for.

Just wait, that baby will probably have a really cute and bright orange "headband" once grown.

Thanks for responding so fast guys. I live in England and online there is only one other lovebird like this for sale. It looks like it might be Cremino instead of lutino. As I said, I’ve never come across one like this before.

Maybe. You will know because you have the parents.
Creamino won´t typically have the coloured brow (or it will be very faint) because they are Turquoise (Turquoise Ino).

I’m not great with genetics and mutations but I can attach some pics of the parents. The dad has an orange face and the mum has a red face. They both have green bodies.

Definately not a lutino
