yep thats normal especially for tiels!!!
oh have you had oz DNA tested he he defiantly a male just wondering 
So, I gave Oz a misting today, and after wards he was preening on top of the computer screen and shook himself and POOF
He's five months old now and they're all pretty dusty bits
Haha, love like he's just poofed up and exploded!
Merlin does this a lot, though not quite as much as that, but a fair bit! Some small down feathers come loose too. A real good shake off and preen!
Normal!

Nope =D But I think he's a male because he can whistle and is pretty vocal thought I'll know for sure soon when he molts. I don't know if the lady who sold him to me had him tested, but she said he was male.
On his 'new bird' checkup, the vet thought he was a girl, and his assistant thought he really is a guy. Bets are open peeps, is Oz a male or a female, make your guesses xD
When does molt start and how long does it last?
@ Mayden haha, yeah xD

Nimbus does the same thing! He's extremely poofy. He's only about two and a half months old, but I assume it's just a cockatiel thing

Yeah, Oz can be a poofball sometimes <3 I'm moving soon and I'll have access to an awesome camear so I'll be able to take GREAT pics of him instead of the blurry ones I can take with my phone and 3ds
I do find his 'birdie stretch' (when they extend one wing and one leg) adorable. The other day, I was playing a game online and he napped on my shoulder for an hour <3

They go through their adult molt around 6-9 months of age, it'll last awhile to go through the whole molt of losing all the pearl coloring if Oz is a boy!
I think oz is a boy to a lovely one!!!
