Abstract
Albinism is a genetically inherited condition that reduces the amount of melanin pigment produced in the body, feathers and eyes of birds. Albinism is caused by a mutation in genes that interfere in the expression of the type and concentration of a pigment. In birds, this alteration causes the absence of colour in the feathers and other body parts and occurs at a very low frequency (Buckley,1982; Beltzer, 1984 and Avizanda et al., 2010). Due to the lack of melanin production in both the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and iris, albinos typically have red eyes. In contrast, other alterations in the plumage pigmentation, such as leucism, result from defects in pigment cells in the feathers during development.
