Are albino budgies/parakeets rare?

[Giselle]

Nope, Albinos are not rare, but they are fairly uncommon. Budgies are, in general, quite easy to breed for particular colors and mutations, and albino is a very easy mutation to breed, as is Lutino, though the latter has proven more difficult to breed than the former. The thing is, GOOD Albinos (pure white, without a blue tinge) are rarer and far more difficult to breed.

Really I never see true albinos at any pet stores
