I got my new cockatiel today....

She (i think) is a pearl. Originally I was going to get a white face, but this certain pearl would run from anywhere in the cage just to get to my hand when i reached in there, that is one reason why I am guessing female. Shes not really acting too outgoing and lively right now, but i guess that is just due to the move correct??

thanks

kevin

I'd have chosen that one too!

Depending on the age it could be either male or female.

If its a male he will lose his pearl feathers and they will come in a solid gray. If its a female she will remain pearled after the first molt.

If she is subdued right now that is due to fear. Its pretty scary to be taken out of the store and brought to some strange place. Just talk gently to her and offer her a millet spray.

She will come around. They are gregarious.

She is acting better now. I took her to work w/ me today, which happens to be the pet store i bought her from, and she had a ball, but still of course never took her eye off of me lol
