I've noticed these spots on grey cockatiel hens going back to the early 80's and considered it a normal part of their markings, you never see it on adult...
Hi Stella!! Thanks for the responce. Do you have any pix's of the chests of the spotted birds? Also what splits would they have, if any? I am wondering if...
Hi, I really think if you google some pictures of female black cockatoos especially the Red Tails you will see that the hens have dots and dashes all over the...
Scott, Thanks...with the cockatoo the spots are up higher and on some birds going into the crest. With the tiels these spots are seen lower and just about...
Hi Scott I think you are completely off the track to compare a cockatiel to a red tail black, using this comparison I could argue that they are related to...
Hi Susanne, I've only got one grey hen at the moment, she has barring all up the front of her and some yellow spots under the wings on her side and along the...
There is a strong genetic link between cockatiels and Red-tailed black cockatoos, which is why I brought up the comparison in the first place. The closest...
Stella, Again, thanks for responding. I had to go outside and check before replying. Yes the subtle barring on the abdomen and spots under the wing...
Sorry, but I don't think I am off track at all. A cockatiel is just a small cockatoo and the black hens exhibit spots and bars. The cockatiel neck spots may be...
... Interesting! I wonder if Canadian cockatiels are genetically much different than US tiels? The people I've talked to about this have been mostly in the US,...
I'll stick to what I said in my last reply and leave it at , all psittacine's are related at some point and you are linking something so different that there...
I don't think these markings are out of the ordinary. Just normal grey hen markings. These markings on grey hens predate the introduction of WF,YC and emerald...
I truly wish that this hen was a "new" arrival on the scene and was worth many dollars.....with the economy as it is here, I would love to ship a number just...
I also have the same in Lutino...... ...  Gene, When it comes to lutino you can use a blacklight to look for any markings or the spots on the chest. It...
Ok, so I guess it would be impossible for a cockatiel to hybridize with a galah. Scott To: Genetics-Psittacine@yahoogroups.com From: asplandbird@... ...
Those from OZ will show you a Galah Pied Cockatiel cross. Gene Hall HIS Birds "and they shall rise up on wings as eagles" ... From: Scott Stringer To:...
Ok, so I guess it would be impossible for a cockatiel to hybridize with a galah. Scott... CRAP!!!!!...all I want to know is in regards to the original...
A simple answer, Yes Susan it is common place for the spots on the cockateils!!!!!! I'd watch your language also, this is just a discussion... ... From:...

Hi all Actually a post here about cockatiel, which make me want to discuss it with you, well i am breeding Roseicollis for about fifteen years now, and i...
Joyce, Thanks for the links!!! The YouTube one was interesting because there were also other video showing hatching eggs, etc. BUT...I am single minded here...
Susanne, My point was that since the barred tail with body spots and barring is seen on non white cockatoo females, it stands to reason that the speckling on...
 I would wonder why all cockatiel hens don't have the chest spots. Maybe some are just more "primative" than others. ...  Scot,  Interesting point. ...
Wouldn't this bird be a Galatiel, while a Cockalah would be from a Cockatiel cock x Galah hen ? Like Ligers & Tigons.   Oh, my. J Moody ... From: Wynand...
... The spots seem to be pretty common on males too, at least when they're juveniles. It isn't entirely clear what happens when they mature, but the general...
Hi Joyce, fancy meeting you here. Carolyn and her cockatiels: Vlad, Shodu, Mims, and Buster Teela, Squeebis, and Snowy (children of Shodu and Buster) + a...
... The markings seem to be fairly common in the US but apparently they are not considered to be part of the normal cockatiel color scheme. Exhibition...
