Cockatiel
Hello, I've been really interested in buying a cockatiel because of how gentle of a friend they can be.
I was offered this one, the seller told me they don't know their gender, also added that they're around 6 months old.
I really want a male cockatiel, I was told they're more likely to sing and interact with me!
I prefer having a yellow one. But the seller told me he had a grey male one and he was sure it was a male.
Can anyone help me figure out these informations?

Hard to tell the gender of lutino(yellow albino) cockatiels. Also hard to tell gender when they're under a year.

Females can also be tame, but usually they aren't chatty

lutino is lutino, there's no such thing like "yellow albino" because albino is always white.
Sorry, I had to write it

But I agree with the rest part, I often see how people write that lutino cockatiels may be recognisded only through singing

It's fine

By yellow albino I meant that both mutations are cause by the same gene, IIRC
