Rosella Lutino

The Lutino Rosella is a rare and striking color mutation produced through selective captive breeding. The lutino mutation removes melanin from the plumage, transforming the vivid red and green coloring of normal Rosellas to brilliant yellows and whites while retaining the characteristic blue cheek patches that make Rosellas instantly recognizable. A Lutino Rosella in prime condition is one of the most spectacular small-to-medium parrot mutations in aviculture. DATA ISSUE: This product is currently listed in the ‘Love Birds’ category — it should be in ‘Parrots’. Please correct the category.

Care Requirements

Lutino Rosellas have identical care needs to normally colored Rosellas: spacious aviary, quality parrot seed mix, regular fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouted seeds, leafy greens, natural branches for gnawing, and daily fresh water. Their pale eye color means they may be slightly more sensitive to bright direct sunlight — provide shaded areas.

Availability

Lutino Rosellas are produced through specific genetic pairings and are considerably rarer than normal-colored Rosellas. Their extraordinary beauty and relative scarcity justifies their premium price.
