    Hi there, So excited to have picked up my first tiel today. Think we've decided to call him Spikey! (We 'think' he's a boy - would people agree from how he looks or too soon?!) Can anyone advise which mutation he is classed as please? He'll be 9 weeks old tomorrow, already chirping away at me...

    My supposedly both female (DNA tested!) pair of cockatiels had babies. Mother (she's pearl): Father: Babies: Parents both have the red reflective eye of cinnamons. They both have to be pearls since all the babies are pearls. There is a whiteface baby so parents should both be split...

    Hey guys, I'm not very experienced with gendering cockatiels so any help would be greatly appreciated (: I am considering purchasing this beauty from my breeder (already got 2 quality hand raised birds from them) however I'm hoping it is a male as I want at least one that'll be able to whistle...

    Hi! I have a couple of tiels that just started nesting for their second time. The female is a WF Pearl and the male seemed like a Clear Pied at first because I can't see red in his eyes no matter how close I look or even if I direct some light at it. However, out of the 4 babies that were born...
  7. 📢 Cockatiel Talk 🗣️
    Hi! I'll be short, just have a simple question. What are the effects of breeding a couple of Pied tiels with very similar pied patterns (for instance 2 heavy pieds like these)? Will the babies be born with roughly the same pattern or can light and even clear pied show up as well? If its the...
  8. Cockatiel Mutations and Genetics
    Hello! I know that it's really difficult to tell what gender pieds are; I've read that males can maintain the tail barring for a long time, but I was wondering - can females get solid grey tail feathers? I've been looking for a tiel and found a really sweet pied. The pictures its owner sent me...
  9. Cockatiel Breeding
    I have a pearl male split to cinnamon and I assume-pied (he has a tell-tale yellow spot on the back of his neck).He was paired with pearl WF (split to pied) and had 4 babies, none of them pied. Because of some issues with the hen I had to pair him with another one- a pied pearl this...

    Hello everyone! I am looking for some constructive input on what visual mate I should look for in order to get a variety of healthy and happy chicks from my male whiteface. Opie is 2 years old and very interested in breeding with his favorite toys and another, female cockatiel I have. However...

    Hello all! I am searching for a whitefaced cockatiel, and this is one I located near me. Any ideas if she is simply a whitefaced pied, or something else? Thanks for your input!!
  13. Cockatiel Mutations and Genetics
    The breeder I got him from told me that my boy Genji is a pearl split to pied. His parents are a pied split to pastelface, cinnamon, and pearl (father) and a normal pearl pied (mother). With my (very rudimentary) understanding of genetics, wouldn't all the babies be pied since both the parents...
  14. Cockatiel Mutations and Genetics
    Okay, so I have discovered that no matter what we say about indications that a cockatiel is male or female based on marking, you never know until you DNA sex it! I walked into a bird store yesterday evening on my search for a male cockatiel that is split to whiteface and pearl, and found a...

    Hello Everyone :D My two Cockatiels, Sunny & Big Bird, have had their first clutch of four babies!! I was just wondering what colour their babies seem to be and what colours they'll be able to produce in the future. Big Bird (Male - Heavy Pied for sure, not entirely positive of any splits)...

    I am a very new Cockatiel parent from Wisconsin. In fact I am so new I haven't even brought my babies home yet. I purchased my Tiels from Misfit Aviary. One is a Lutino female (her pic is in my signature), and a Cinnamon Pied which we don't yet know the sex of (pic is my avatar). The Lutino is...

    My male pearl/pied 'tiel, Solar, has recently turn 1 year and started his first moult not long back. But not properly. He's not done yet but he has given me his decks twice now and by the looks of it he'll drop another pair. All four of these feathers have dropped before reaching their full...

    Hello, I was just wondering if anyone might have a picture of a male pied cockatiel around 5 weeks old. Thanks :D
  20. Cockatiel Breeding
    I bought a pair of Cockatiels that I know nothing about other than what I can see. I've raised birds for years, but also been out a few years. I purchased a heavy pied male and a whiteface/Pied hen. The first clutch, my only baby came out as a Cinnamon pearl and my first baby from the second...
