How to tell if a Cockatiel has been inbred too much? All 'tiels "have a bare spot" under their "tiel" the larger the bare spot, the more they have been inbred

Hi Jay

The one thing I noticed with my tiels is the bald spot on the top of the head of my lutinos,. this is common with that mutation.

My pearls and Pieds  not so much

Hi old friend...The Lutino was one of the first "Color bred 'tiels" and everyone cross bred them so much their gene is everywhere, Your other 'tiels are also color bred but not as much as Latino's.

Here's a favorite web site of mine, I've never been a member but have trolled them tor years.
