Shiloh is looking regal even in full moult. I am even tempted to rush out and get me a tiel. But no, I am staying a budgie girl :laugh:
Gorgeous pics
Thank you Li...you'll still be a budgie girl if you have a tiel or two...
wooaaaaah... What a beautiful boy Shiloh is... Very handsome. Love the spikes... DO all the tiels have such a hair do? I find it fascinating.
Thank you Juhi...Yes, all tiel have the spikes, or crest's. Some longer and nicer than other's, but they all have them...
6 months old already, time does fly! Your Shiloh is growing up beautifully, he is such a cutie.
Yes, they told me he was about 4 months when I got him. Time does fly...thank you Ana...
Randy it is pretty easy to tell the sex of a normal coloured Cockatiel, normal greys, normal cinnamon, normal whiteface etc. Just look under the wings and if the spots go right up to the equivalent of the armpit it is a girl if they only go to the equivalent of the elbow or halfway it is a boy. He does look like a boy as from the new tail feather I can just see in the picture it is a solid colour and the flecked tail feather is the last of the juvenile tail feathers to drop. Females retain the flecked tail feathers and the males have solid colour. From the picture it is possible that he is carrying pied.
Lovely bird with a really good thick crest.
Thank you Kate. I did notice that tail thing too. When I first got him the tail was barred all the way down almost, and slowly as the old have fallen out and new start to grow, the bars are gone. I will be looking under his wings later today. He is such a sweet bird, I really don't care what sex or how the appearance turns out....
Yep Kate hit it on the nose,I helped sex my best friends tiels...by looking at the spots under the wings,half way up boy, all the way girl...he is a very gorgeous boy and he knows it
Thank you Kim....gonna be having a peek under his wing's later today....
