Many multi-combination mutations are now available and the breeding of new colours is continuing. The lutino trait is carried on the Z chromosome, also referred to as the "ino gene," making this trait a sex-linked mutation. But they do require an attentive caretaker who can spend time handling them every day to keep them tame and prevent them from becoming bored.

Most of the time this mutation works against the animal. AVIAN GENETIC CALCULATOR is a powerful tool for breeders of many caged bird species, which tells the breeder what colour progeny and expected percentages of each will result from different bird colour matings as well as providing some on-screen photographs of many … Selective breeding for certain traits is possible and it is without doubt that new mutations will continue to pop up. by Terry Martin 2003 Drawing on information from specialist parrot mutation breeders from all over the world, this book is the most definitive work ever attempted on the intriguing subject of mutations and genetics in parrots. The Maritime Aquarium's new Lorikeet exhibit where more than 50 lorikeets will be housed in a new aviary out on the aquarium's riverfront courtyard.
