Hello everyone
First of all im not native english speaker so please excause me.
I have this pair that seem to be Lutino male and a Cinnamon Lutino female, this pair gave me several clutches and i raised many of their offsprings ,i know genaticly they should give me (Lutino females,which is always true )and (Lutino males split to cinnamon) the problem here that the males always look like a Cinnamon Lutino after first molt ,so my question here do Lutino split to Cinnamon appear to be visual Cinnamon Lutino? Or do they have a diffrent mutation that i dont know of?

This is the mother

This is a male son of her

Breeding for colour is very complicated and not for the beginner. I don't breed and certainly don't want to in colour outcomes. It is not about 2 bird's colours in expectation of what you might think are the outcomes. They may come out coloured or split back to natural greys, or not. Depends on the parents of birds, and their parents etc from people who know what they are doing. Super complicated. You may get great colours or not, depending on former parent down the line for colour. You may get natural colours in pairing of birds if you don't know the parentage.

Those are very gorgeous birds you have there! 🥰 The reason you are having cinnamon lutino males must be because the father is split to cinnamon. In order for you to have any offspring with cinnamon in it, the male always has to be visual or split (even if the female is visual) for you to have any chicks with that mutation. I'll use my pair as an example. I have a normal grey split to pied and whiteface male who is paired with my cinnamon pied female. Even though she is cinnamon, there is no way she can have cinnamon chicks unless her partner is visual or split to cinnamon. I knew that my male was not visual so when they bred, I would find out if he was split. In all the chicks that they've had, I've never once had a cinnamon chick which means that he is not split to cinnamon. Since you've had chicks that are cinnamon Lutinos, then your male must be split to cinnamon. I hope that makes sense. 😊
Here are two pictures of my pair:

Thanks Jo and Misstiel your birds are very nice too!
I know how basic genetics works being breeding cockatiels for about 5 years but this pair is really confusing me since i know the background of the male he definitly doesnt have any cinnamon in him and he proved so by producing over 20 females that always come out 100% lutinos ,
Im thinking the female maybe is a Platinum but i know this mutation is exclusive in Australia..

Yeah, I'm not quite sure, then. I don't know anything about platinum cockatiels but if you have one, that is really cool!
