Hello! I just adopted a cockatiel... am wondering the mutation. Thanks!

S/He joins my flock of 2 - a TAG and a Senegal! Still trying to choose a name...

Correct, that is a whiteface pied mutation. Because pied masks sex markers and neither mutation is sex linked you will need to DNA test to be sure of gender. But don't worry that only costs $20 if you go through avian biotech.

Thank you for the explanation! I wouldn't begin to know these intricates, thus the question.

"hold up... something's off here. I can't quite put my beak on it..."

Also note he has armed himself with a tiny twig to bash any intruders in!

naw hes just sitting on it, vs. standing.....with those old time black and white photos it takes a while for the daguerreotype photos to gain exposure.


If you don't know what I'm talking about look it up its super funny.
