lovemyGreys Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 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 .. http://www.cockatiel.org/mutations/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzzique Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 It is a cinnamon I had one for about 7 years until a very tragic accident. Very sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemyGreys Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 I finally got around to some better quality pics of him now what do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyTimneh Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 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.

Matthew Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
