Albinoism is not unknown in the Corvid family but I have never heard of total albino birds. It is usually just patches of feathers which are affected.

there is a pied jagdaw by my girlfriends house. so far i have seen him three times. seen him in flight twice and just last week i was driving up the estate and here he was picking on the grass. the one day i had no camera in the car and there he was 10 feet away. there is also a white blackbird in emo woods but i have yet had the pleasure to have seen him.

Complete white albinos are rare but not unheard of.

There used to be white crows living in Egypt back in the days of the Pharaohs. They were seen as being divine and were fed fine foods in the courtyards until they were tame. As time went on and the Egyptians became less superstitious and stopped feeding them, seeing them as the pests they were. It wasn't long before they became extinct.

Slightly off topic I know, but i taught it was an interesting bit of info.
