I Think he may be just a cinnamon Siobhan, doesn't have the classic pearl appearance

 

This is a good link for mutations & cross mutations ..

It is a cinnamon I had one for about 7 years until a very tragic accident. Very sweet.

Oops! It probably is:whistle: I have 2, and I have never even questioned what kind they are... to me they are cockatiels:unsure:

[lovemyGreys]

What are Rosie & Jim ? Normal greys ?

[siobha9]

Cockatiels:dry: ???? I don't know actually. I've never actually thought about it:unsure:

 

Here they are. What do you think?

 

[lovemyGreys]

Jim's a normal grey & Rosie definately has some cinnamon, she looks a lot lighter than Jim,it will be interesting to see the babies markings

I finally got around to some better quality pics of him now what do you think

[TinyTimneh]

yeesh.. hmm... looks like a toughie. he definetly isn't pure strain. good be a she actually. my vote is normal split to something... either pied or pearl. if he's completed first moult then he is a she if pearl (only females keep pearling) and if not could be just pied (those random white/yellow feathers are characteristic). however ,there are books upon books of complicated 'tiel genetics and most birds around sure don't have pure-blood pedigree, there could be all kinds of colours in his ancestry.

My money is on Cinnamon Pearl. Is it losing some of the yellow? Looks like it's a male going through it's first molt. This of course is just a guess. I haven't even thought about cockatiel genetics in many many years.
