You're Cute!
This albino budgerigar (parakeet), named Diode, naturally lacks all pigmentation. Her favorite phrase is, "You're cute!" She also whistles, kisses, and rings like a telephone. (But doesn't answer "hello?")
Albinism is a recessive genetic trait in budgies, who are native to Australia but are commonly kept as pets in many regions of the world.
