Re: Albino
I'm confident that everyone here is DIEING to see them! Please post pics.
Red eyes?
Very rare. I'd ask $100 a bird, maybe more.
White is a common flavour, but the birds have dark eyes.

Re: Albino
Are the beaks pale, lacking in color?
According to efinch.com
http://www.efinch.com/species/whitzeb.htm
"Combinations with the White Mutation:
All combinations with the White mutation results in a white bird. When combined with the Fawn mutation, some of the flecks of gray often seen on the heads of some White Zebras is reduced or eliminated. Another advantage to using fawn based whites is the buff feather quality that many fawns have. This may help with the apparent size and conformation of the bird without suffering from marking faults since the White does not have any. If (the White Mutation) combined with the Continental CFW mutation, the chicks will have bright red eyes and are often confused with albinos. Albinos are often reported, but have not been confirmed in Zebra finches yet
