When breeding Lutinos as in all other mutations, to enhance or eliminate a specific trait, all is dependent on the pairing of the genes in a particular mating. There is no true method for elimination or enhancement of traits such as a bald spot, red eyes, size, length or coloring, it is accomplished through selective breeding until the desired results are realized. I remember seeing in a magazine article a recipe for producing heavy Pieds, it involved breeding Pieds into Lutinos to clear up dirty Pieds. These have all been proven false, especially since the size and quality of the cockatiel has improved so much since the appearance of these mutations. For more Information on Genetics visit us here.
