My cockatiels, Luna, the hen at the back and Solar, the cock, who share the aviary with the buds. They used to spend the whole time at the back of the aviary but now come to the front and join in the fun.  |

How lovely that they have settled in and now consider themselves part of the gang. They are looking good, too. |

Very beautiful Looking at Cockatiels, it always feels like the hands would have grey color on them if it touched the Cockatiels. LoL  |

I have never been up close to a cockatiel so to me they all look very similar. The red/orange patches put me off a little bit. Sorry but they don't really appeal to me.  The photo is very good. |

You can tell the difference by the intensity of the yellow and orange, the male is brighter, the female has a sort of washed out dusty yellow and orange. Also the female has bars on her tail feathers whereas the male is all black. Birds are my absolute passion Pops, I can honestly say there is not one bird that I have ever seen that doesn't appeal to me. I'd have my house full of them if I could. Oh, actually I have.  |

I like all birds, pity that unable to keep more at the moment. Sexing Cocktails is a bit like Gouldian finches, just not that easy though. I practice whenever I go to pet shops |
