It occurred in America, Texas, in 1950. Later on the American fancier Tom Easley bred a new form of the mutation which was named after him. The Texas Clearbody is sex-linked, the Easley clearbody dominant . There is also a clearbody bred in the Netherland by Mr.Visser but for the moment I don’t know if  it is still alive .

Again Mr. Attwood imported the first clearbody to the U.K. from Mr.Wagner in California .

The Texas Clearbody is the most common variety to be bred in Europe. It has close links to the ino mutation to which it is dominant. No ino can be split for clearbody, a normal cannot be split for clearbody and ino, but clearbody can be split for ino .

Because of this relationship  there are a number of matings who can produce clearbodies.

Clearbody occurs in the green and blue series . In the green series you have a yellow bird with black wing markings, in the blue series you have a white bird with black markings .

The best clearbodies in colour occurs when you put a Clearbody to a Normal.
