White Crow

First of all I am not sure this belongs here but I have what I think is a White Crow near my house and I have never even herd of one before. Does anyone know anything about them or is this a usual thing that I have not seen before?

ITs normal just not common.
I have never seen a white deer, but i know they are out there,
because everytime a hunter see's one he shoots it, then its a
new story.

wow i wanna see a white crow.

I believe all animals are prone to an occasional albino,
I think it'd be cool to see a white crow.
I did see an albino deer once, but I didn't want to shoot it.
A couple of years ago there was an albino black squirrel running around here. The only reason I knew it was a black squirrel was because it hung out with the other black squirrels.

you know how some black crows have a little whit in them?

can some just have i little more then others?

White crows are cool looking! Never thought there was such a thing.

Twice in the last couple of months I have seen a single white dove flying around low while I was driving in the neighborhood. I have heard of people releasing them at weddings, but this was rush hour traffic in mid afternoon!

Anyway, white birds are attractive.

lol, i just noticed you said crow, for the longest time I thought you were talking about cows, lmao
anyways, i've seen white squirels (only once)bears(albino bears like to hang out in the artic for some reason), cats, and dogs

Not trying to rain on your parade here, but Polarbears aren't albino, it's just their fur that's white. In fact, it's another species. Info here.

Wow, thank you for the replies and if I can get some pictures I will post them for all to see. Thanks again.

ooooo

Ah, messybeast, I've visited that site quite often.
Still more leucistic birds: users.utu.fi...

I wonder if birds occasionally have white spots, like many dogs. And if their genetics for this color pattern is similar it would be rather easy to breed white crows, if both parents carry the right genes.

never heard of an albino gorrila or chimp ? Wonder if they are out there ?

There are a number of white and partly white crows in the village where I live. In fact i've been trying to catch them with my camera for about 6 months! The majority seem to be 60% black and 40% white although there are totally white ones.

I was wondering could this be due to pollution? I only ask as the village where I live has extensive underground mine working that were closed about 50 years ago. Possibly polluting the water supply? The white and partially white ones are nasty little sods.... they seem to 'bully' the other crows a heck of alot. But they are quite nice to look at.
