Size: Typically around 13-17 cm (5-7 inches) in length, depending on the species.
Color: The Creamino mutation features a soft, creamy coloration, which is a lighter and more pastel version of the Lutino or Albino mutations. The feathers usually have a pale cream or off-white hue with subtle yellow or peachy undertones. The Creamino coloration is achieved through a combination of the Lutino and Albino genes, resulting in a bird with a very delicate and light appearance.
Beak: Typically orange or pinkish.
Eyes: The eyes are usually dark, providing a contrast against the cream-colored feathers.
Distribution: Like other color mutations, Creamino lovebirds are bred in captivity rather than found in the wild. They are a popular variation within lovebird species such as Fischer’s and Peach-faced Lovebirds.
