[Pasofever]

She told me dad had a orange cheak patch...if so he is NOT a WF visual...and mom should have a gray head and orange cheak patch..the males have yellow heads...


I was heavy into the WFs 15+ years ago..I got mine from CA Elsie Burgan the origionator of the WF's...they have so many new colors now..I was doing mainly Cin pearl and pieds..WF I wanted all the colors..had just got into the fallows when I got out of the WFs I have one left he is 20 yrs old...Sold all of mine to a guy locally...

Cockatiels are the coolest.

I wish I could get another birdie. Furball would eat him though.

Paso,
I have to assume I'm your stalker This is Stacey with the pellets If you don't know what I'm talking about, then I retract that statement and I'm not your stalker Hahahaha
Anywho - I'll see the parents next Monday and report back, but I'm pretty certain Roxy has said that dad is all white w/ a little bit of grey up around his face (which based on that says wf pied), as for mama even pearl hens have a yellow head and orange cheeks, perhaps not to the extent of a grey male but still I would consider it a yellow head (plus if it were a male he wouldn't have retainted his scallops So in a week we'll see I'll definately let you know and if I can figure it all out maybe I'll add a picture or two of the chicks

and noisiest.......

I had one that sang the Andy Griffith song. It drove my parents insane.

I also had another one that I got on the old radio station once. Called to request a song, put the phone to birdie and he said "Z104!" They put that on the radio like 4 times that week.

 

[Parrotmomm]

hahaha - that's pretty good I like that "z104". You know for whatever reason the Andy Griffith song is the most common song for 'tiels to sing?? Years ago we bought a pair, and that was the males song, surprisingly I'm sure - we named him Andy I don't know if it's just the most common song for people to whistle or if somehow the notes are easy enough for 'tiels to get, but I have had so many people say they had/have a tiel that whistles that song! But the radio time tiel is definitely a new one

 

[Pasofever]

YEP you are my stalker...

Been so long ....I will dig up some pics next nasty day and I am inside...Parrotmom please get pics...thanks Paso

Chicks are here and are beautiful

I know I updated Paso but if anyone else was following this thread and was curious, the parents turned out to be a whiteface pied (dad, he's very handsome) and a cinnamon pearl (mom, also just beautiful).
Right now the chicks are feathering out grey, but still no sign of orange cheek patches, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they could be whiteface (meaning mom is split to wf, a great surprise A few also have marbled feet - perhaps pied or split to pied - we'll see
As soon as I can get the camera together I'll get some shots of them

Thanks Roxy for letting me handfeed them! They've been a joy! This is my favorite part, so thank you again!
