Hello I got a question what would the babies look like of a male Whiteface Cockatiel and a female Pearl Cockatiel Iā€™ve read were they would go back to normal but Iā€™ve read other things to so Iā€™m not sure :grey::grey:

If they aren't split, babies will normal. Do you know your cockatiels' parents?

As Rozalka said, all babies will be normal, all will be split whiteface, all males will also be split pearl.

That is, with no known splits.

I have a male whiteface (split pearl I think) and a female cinnamon (don't know what else is in her DNA)

I had two clutches of babies.

first clutch was 3. one male normal coloration. 1 female Lutino, and 1 female peal.

Second clutch of 4.

3 normal grey (sex unknown) and 1 Lutino (also unknown sec). Had to sell them to the mom and pop pet shop cuz I could not keep them

Someone here really knows the book on Cockatiel mutations but I can't think of her handle/user name at the moment. She use to live in Hawaii but moved not to long ago.

I bow in the dust to her superior knowledge of the subject.

Based on offspring, male is split Ino (Lutino/Albino) and maybe Pearl. If all female chicks are pearl, then he's a visual pearl - which you can actually figure out by looking at his tail feathers. If his tail feathers are solid black, he's split pearl. If there's mottling, then he's visual pearl. Pretty easy way to tell! ;) (easier on molted tail feathers, btw!)
