search of rare, unique birds, any doors that open to the appearance of mutations is always something that passion to amateurs. Today I can show you two that have come into my hands. First we have this male with his head partially white.
Following the terminology of "indigenous color" of Honorius Gimeno, we could be facing an a-pigmentation. In this case, feathers appear totally devoid of pigment, completely white, or no melanin (brown or black) or lipochrome (yellow). This bird has reached me from a breeder of Asturias, together with two of his sons, who do not have any white spots. Perhaps this change of color is not inherited. We'll see! 
The second issue I present is a female unbanded also some imported from at least three years ago. In this case presents a yellow feather in the tail, would be a case of a partial-melanism. The yellow background lipochrome itself is appreciated and the whole pen is devoid of melanin. Would be equivalent to the so-called white feathers that have some green or brunos canaries in the queue. In this case we could be facing a specimen that would lead a pious mozambique canaries. To do this I will treat with care and affection,'ll match with a cute male (perhaps the white head) and I will dream of the possibility of offspring. 
Today I was born two chicks in a nest of mozambique, Will they be carriers of some characteristic that makes them unique?, Sure, every one of these birds is unique, but its color does not show it so clearly.
