i never heard albino budgies being sterile. Maybe it was
just from that one albino that was sterile, hey it happens
to even colored birds, they may be sterile. But i believe
this is so because the baby wasn't feed proper greens and
vitamins, Vitamin E is assentual for birds and their
reproductive system. Some people may think their birds are
sterile (like i did) because they didn't produce any fertile
eggs, but this is so because they didn't feed enough greens
and eggfood to produce chicks.
