I got another cockatiel, and don't know the sex:rolleyes:

I just thought it was a nice looking bird and is about 3 months old

It's a pearl, and my guess is a male....but hoping it's a female. It has bright red patches which would indicate a male, but I have two Lutino hens here that have bright red patches....so I just don't know. As for the pattern on the wings, it may be to early to tell.

when I took it out of the carrier to put it into the cage, it promptly bit my finger and bit it HARD, it got me right in between my cuticle, and would not let go, I literally had to gently shake the bird off my finger...who knew cockatiels can bite that hard:eek:

Cinnamon pearl. I'm going to say female!!!!

Both sex-linked, and only way for this bird to be male is if the mother was the same mutation!!! If the mother didn't carry both cinnamon and pearl, that would make this bird a hen!

thanks Monica!...I was really hoping it was a hen, the male I have 'her' paired with produces pied,cinnamon,and pearl chicks, so this is going to be very very interesting. next years clutch should be exciting:D
