What is leucistic  |
Leucism is a lack of pigment, so animals are paler/whiter than normal. A form of albinism, but this bird is obviously not a true albino which would be all white with pink eye. Melanin the dark pigment does confer strength to feathers, but this chap (or chappess) looks healthy enough!
