I would like to introduce you all to Jive, who is my first Cockatiel.
At the moment I cant tell if Jive is a boy or a girl. But one thing for sure he/she has alot of personality.
There are two photos of Jive in the gallery, feel free to have a look n hopfully there will be more to come.

Hello Kylie, welcome to TC.

Your 'tiel looks like a pearl(?) sometimes, if a baby cockatiel is heard whistling, it is more likely a male, as only males will whistle and talk. However, you can sometimes (very rarely) get a young female that will whistle.

Did the person who you got the 'tiel off let you know anything about Jive? He/she is adorable.

I got Jive from a pet shop, I did find out that he/she has been hand raised. I had been looking around for a tiel for a while and when I saw Jive, I knew I found the bird for me. I should say that Jive choose me. The lady at the shop took Jive out of the cage n he/she sat stright on my fingure and started talking and whistling. Ive only had Jive for a few days, but Im suprised at how well he/she has settled in. Jive starts talking and whistling as soon as I uncover him/her in the morning. He/she keeps it up all day, lots of personaliy in this little bird. He/she spits seed at the cats, its so funny.

Firstly Jive is an absolute beauty!!! Looks like Cinnamon Whiteface Pearl. Both Cinnamon and Pearl are sex linked mutations (Fathers pass those genes to Daughters) which would make it more likely statistically that Jive is a girl. However if Jive's Mom was also Cinnamon Whiteface Pearl Jive could be a boy. The behavour you described sounds like a boy. If the pet shop could hook you up with the breeder they could give you a better idea what's in Jive's genes. You should know somewhere around 6 months. It sounds like you've done a bit of research so you probably already know that.
