Leucism is a condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales or cuticle, but not the eyes. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in multiple types of pigment, not just melanin.
Hello! I have met Luna in person and he is a beautiful boy who deserves all the love ever.
Please consider donating to thePeace River Wildlife Center, where Luna lives. They are a non-profit animal rehabilitation center with nearly two hundred permanent residents – birds and other animals who are unable to be re-released into the wild – and they admit about two thousand animal patients a year!
I’d highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in southwest Florida! There are so many good birds. So many.
