Who knows anything about these greys, i saw a poster today and couldnt figure out the difference between the Congo and Ghana grey? Are they also kept as pets like the Timneh and Congo? Has anyone seen a Albino Grey before??

All genetic material has the ability to/possibility of mutation -- and an Albino mutation is very common (in the ways of mutations) have I ever seen one, NO - do I think that they could be out there - SURE!

Yes, Congo and Ghana is in africa, but they are 2 different greys from 2 different places. I have googled both the ghana and albino and have not found one of these species pics or breeders or as kept as pets. I did however take a pic of all of them at a petshop. Not a great shot, had to do it before the owners saw me, lol!
Congo, Albino, Ghana, Timneh Greys...
And heres the albino, i know its like a mutation kinda thing, but why is there no record of someone having it as a pet or trying to breed these mutations?

So many people say that the Ghana doesn't exist anymore, but I have to disagree with them. Kito is a Ghana of that I'm sure, He is so much smaller than Bucc, (yes I know there is an age difference between them) but everything about him is different.
I've never seen an Albino Grey, but somewhere here there is a picture of a Grey with a white tail. If not I believe I still have it somewhere I'll have to have a look and get it posted.
I've also told Andi that as I have a Congo & Ghana I really should have a Timmy and a cameroon. (Don't think he's convinced on that one.)

Now that is an interesting looking bird.
I would be interested in seeing more of him.
If your an afficianado of mutations, can you throw any light onto the pink headed Major Mitchel in the other post in the Cockatoo section.
I find him quite interesting also.

The one with the white tail is one that I had saved. The red factors, omg they are beautiful. I saw a couple of babies today who also had the red factor, boy was I ever tempted Very nearly brought one home with me, think Andi would have had heart failure.
Very nearly brought one home with me, think Andi would have had heart failure. No they're the same price, when they are younger, they may lose the Red factor during the first molt, but some of them keep the feathers for ever. They are truly awesome. I know a lot of people don't like the Red Factor, but I think they are beautiful, but hey I just love Greys any Greys.
