Here are some pics of our new birds that we got last night. I have no idea what types of Cockatiels I have, but maybe someone else can by the pictures. I see they are missing a couple of feathers.....I assume that is because they were rescue birds and scared or neglected (?) I have no idea really. Just my guess.

Here is Bart......

Well for what i can tell.
Bart is a Normal Grey male.
Luke looks like a lutino male but without DNA sexing this is hard to know.
Leia is a whiteface female.

THe birds in the other pictyures are, A normal grey split to pied you can see the tick markings on the back of the head.
This means that his offspring could be any colour mutation depending on the colour of the female.

The lutino could be another male but without DNA testing no way to know well unless you find an egg on the bottom of there cage.

But very preety birds.

Cockatiels can be very loud but learn different tunes very quickly and easily, If they hear a tune they like they will try and mimic it until they have mastered it...

If they become startled they will screech really loud especially if you try to pick them up and they dont want you too.
