Sexlink Gene Mutations
Cinnamon
Lutino
Pearl
Yellowcheek sex-linked is a yellow (lutein or psittacine) enhancing gene
Visual Male produces Female Visual and Males Split to
Visual Female produces Males Split to
Females can not be split to this mutations
Nonsexlink Gene Mutations
Fallow
Pied
Emerald
Recessive Silver
Visual to Visual produces Visual
Visual to Split produces Visual, Nonvisual and Split to
Split to Split produces Nonvisual, Visual, and Nonvisual Split to
Dominant Gene Mutations
Dominant Silver
Dominant Yellowcheek is a yellow (lutein or psittacine) enhancing gene
Visual double factor to Visual double factor produces Visual double factor
Visual double factor to Visual single factor produces Visual single factor and Visual double factor and Nonvisual
Visual double factor to Visual single factor produces Visual double factor and Visual single factor
Visual double factor to Nonvisual produces Visual single factor
Visual single factor to Nonvisual produces Visual single factor and Nonvisual
There are no split to Dominant Silver or Dominant Yellowcheek what you see is what you get.
When working with the Dominant mutation you have double and single factor. This has an affect on the outcome of your breeding.
Yellow (lutein or psittacine) reducing Gene Mutations
Creamface
Pastelface
Peachface
Whiteface
Visual to Visual produces Visual
Visual to Split produces Visual, Nonvisual and Split to
Split to Split produces Nonvisual , Visual, and Normal Split to
What happens when you pair a Yellow (lutein) reducing mutation to another Yellow (lutein) reducing mutation. Whiteface paired to Creamface produces a normal that will most likey look like a Creamface. However these birds are still normal and are split to Whiteface and Creamface. The same is true with which ever nutation you mix in the Pastelface, Peachface, Creamface, and Whiteface. The degree in which the Yellow (lutein) reduced takes place is dependent on your birds.

This article I think is one of the best overall articles written about the Cockatiel. I feel this article is well written and gives a person thinking about getting into the Cockatiels a good idea of what to look forward to and expect.

Cockatiel Band Size
I can not stress enough not to use any kind of bands smaller than 5.4mm 7/32" Closed or Split band. Bands that are too small can cut into the leg. Cause the bird to lose the leg. Bands that are too large are much easier to get caught on something. Again bring danger to your bird.

Cinnamon Or Fallow

Cinnamon the 4th mutation is one of the most common colors apart from normal grey. However instead of a grey color over the body, it is a pale ‘dusty' silver/brownish color. It can be mistaken for a light grey, but has a browner overtone, and a paler, softer appearance. Some are a very obvious brown color too. The bright face and clear tail feathers of the male, as well as the immature and the females' dull face and barred tails is the same as for the normal grey. Note though that a cinnamon's immature and females ‘dull' face is often a lot brighter than the same dull face of a normal grey.
Fallow is the 6th mutation is very similar to the cinnamon, and they are hard to tell apart unless you have them side-by-side. Fallow is the same dusty brown color, though fallow tends more to the yellowish side than the cinnamon's brownish color. The main difference between them is that the fallow colored birds have deep red eyes. At first glance, and even on close inspection, it often looks like the normal dark eyes. But get them in the right light (often a camera flash will bring them out, but look for a red IRIS, not the red pupil that happens in any colored eye hit with a camera flash!) and you will find they are actually a dark red color. Fallow is probably a lot more common than it is made out to be, as most fallow cockatiels are labeled as cinnamon, until someone notices their eye color (which often is never noticed!) the colors and markings are the same as for the cinnamon. If you pair a visual Cinnamon Fallow hen to a Normal that is not split to cinnamon. Any female offspring will be split to fallow, and no cinnamon. Hold back just the females. When the bird matures pair her with a visual Fallow. This how you regain the beautiful Fallow coloration that was lost when cinnamon was bred into this mutation. |
