just a preview of my tiel

yes you read right I GOT A TIEL!!!! :D

im not sure if its a he or a she yet, and i wanted to know your opinions regarding color, i found this pic (its NOT my tiel but it looks SIMILAR)

mine has more yellow on the back of the head adn less yellow tail feathers and on the wingfeathers besides the white parts has a couple interspaced yellow ones along with grey ones (on the longest feathers).

Congrats!

The tiel in the picture looks like cinnamon or possibly a silver teil (sometimes it’s hard to tell in pictures). Based solely on his orange patches I'd say that tiel is a male, but I've had females with dark patches too.

CONGRATS!!! the tiel in the pic is a female. you can tell by the horizontal bars on the under side of her tail. if the tail was think dark verticle bars it would be a male.

can't wait for pics!!! :D

actually if the tiel is a pied it can have as well bars and/or bright cheek patches just like a male would, since i dont know about this pic you can assume correctly it is a female....... :D

in my case i think i have a cinnamon pied in which case you cant know by looks but i´m pretty sure its a female cause it doesnt whistles much and it barely chirps.......... but i´ll have to wait a bit longer to be 100% sure ;)

i´ll post pics this afternoon :D :D just gotta load them :rolleyes:
