Hi Trev
.
The word is LUTINO (or some prefer LEUCISTIC).
Apart from the spelling problem, you are right.

There are naturally occurring instances, but caged birds are often deliberately interbred (back-crossed) to favour "oddities" - it is about expressing genes which are normally recessed.
.
As a result, Lutinos are much more common in caged birds than in the natural population.
