Hi everyone.
This is my gorgeous new baby Chickpea.
Sex is unknown, he/she is around 10 weeks old.
Such a beautiful birdy, absolutely loves cuddles and head rubs. 💛

I am just wondering if anyone knows Chickpea's mutation? Chickpea doesn't have red eyes.

I'm guessing you have a beautiful pied female there but I could be wrong on the sex. At 10 weeks, how vocal is he or she? Has your bird made ANY attempts to whistle or chatter a lot? If so, it's about a 90% chance you have a male.

Hi Robert, thanks for your response
Chickpea hasn't made any attempts to whistle, he/she does do a chirp when wanting to come out of the cage, and does the baby bird noise when wanting a head rub!

It looks like you have a cinnamon pied cockatiel because of how light the grey feathers are. I have a cinnamon pied cockatiel myself, and she looks very similar to yours. Your cockatiel looks even lighter than mine though, but I think the cinnamon will vary in every cockatiel.

Normal pied cockatiels are much darker. Here is a normal pied cockatiel chick next to the cinnamon pied cockatiel.
