Hello,

My cockatiels have had their 1st clutch, we have 2 healthy babies. The 1st was born a couple days ago and the 2nd this morning. Baby 2 has much more fuzz and darker eyes.

Is this a good indication that the older baby is a white face Lutino? Or could it also be whiteface cinnamon? I know both mutations can show a lighter eye.

Is the less fuzz something to worry about?

Hi! Hope you’re well. Both chicks seem light to me. However, the black eyes could either mean it’s an albino mutation or that its a different type. Whiteface lutinos have red eyes but the second chick doesn’t, which could be a mutation. Either way, I’m sure they’ll grow up to be beautiful cockatiels! I really don’t know if you should be worried about the little fuzziness. The second chick seems just as big and fuzzier. I really don’t know what to say about that. I see that your post was posted 18 days ago so maybe you’ve found out! Anyways, hope this was of help. Have a nice day!

P.S. Can I ask what the parents were?

Hi! I’ve never bred cockatiels but am getting into it soon. Based on the research I’ve done, you should separate the breeding pair in a large cage that will get 10-12 of sunlight a day. Artificial lighting may also increase your chances. Give them a variety of foods including seeds, pellets, veggies and fruits, and soft foods, such as eggs. Make sure to give them a large nesting box that’s securely tightened to the side of the cage. Provide materials they can make their nest comfortable with. Also, do give them a cuttlebone. Calcium is very important during breeding. Also, make sure that the pair is bonded and they have to be healthy. Don’t breed them at too young an age. I‘d say a year or a year and a half is a good age. That’s all I have now. Hope this works!
