Wow. Beautiful! I'm not certain, myself, but bumping this so that one of our members more well-versed in bird sub-species, mutations and hybrids might chime in. Julie (RavensGryf)? Monica (MonicaMc)? Michael (MikeyTN)? Dani (SilverSage)?

I believe those are 'white faced (silver or cinnamon) pearls'. I said silver or cinnamon because I have seen that color called both. They would produce Pearls and maybe normal white face. Without knowing if they have split genes they could throw other mutations as well.

I think they answered, but I think we can also all agree that the color is beautiful.

Thanks all. I had an opportunity to adopt these birds but i took so much time that other adopt before me.... I like white face or grey face so i am waiting for some one to give me baby in near future if they had then.

I guessed whiteface pearl too before I read the repiles. If they are split they can surprise you. My visual grey split to pied and my pied who I think is split to cinnamon have given me all pearl babied. 4 pearl pied and 2 lutino pied.

Beautiful birds :)! I might know my species and subspecies pretty well, but I don't know much on cockatiel mutations. Whiteface pearl? Very pretty.

Two white face pearls, they are not inos, and unless they are under 6 months old, they are both FEMALE.


Also, do not breed them together please. Breeding two pearls together can cause body mass issues, baldness, and other problems. Breeding two whiteface together has its own set of risks.



With all due respect. Please do lots and lots of research before diving into breeding birds. Being unprepared leads to dead babies and heartbreak :(

Thank you for mentioning that. I was pretty sure I knew the mutation but I didn't know about breeding two white faces causing problems I knew there were some that you can't but I really haven't been around breeding cockatiels in over 20 years.:eek:
