    True albino crows have pink feet and bills, as their skin and soft body tissue also lack any melanin. White crows with darker bills or black legs are not true albinos and are classed as leucistic instead. Albinism in birds is often associated with weak eyesight and poor depth of field vision caused by the lack of pigmentation in their irises.

    Albinism is a rare but regular occurrence in crows and many other animals.
