found that white Parakeets (my experinces is with the females) are crazy? I've had two white Parakeets, that were nasty to the other birds, they were distuptive and bit an awful lot. They were and are very unplesant to have. I have one now that picks up and drops the feed bowl. All my other Parakeets don't act this way and I have 5 more. These birds I know weren't abused, they came from good homes. Has anyone had this happen?

Are these white budgies albinos (red eyes) or leucistic? There are at least 32 mutations commonly seen in budgies.
I've never had an albino or a leucistic budgie, but I had a solid white cockatiel (white faced) that I purchased when the mutation was new and rarely seen. The bird was very odd acting and didn't seem to have normal intelligence. Since then, I've been wary of color mutations.
In breeding animals...birds, dogs, cats....the easiest characteristic to breed for is color. Other characteritics such as size, intelligence and temperament often come later....
In the case of my cockatiel, she had the looks, but not the smarts.

Well, you see, white parakeets are a minority. They are just so tired of being victims that they have to act out.
