as you may know iŽm getting a cockatiel, so i wondered what would be everyones choice if they were getting one or which they picked if they have one or two........

choices are : (i know there are lots of pattern combos but i posted the most common i think, some i dont know names so iŽll just describe them in my own way :p ;) )

Normal Gray (various shades of gray)

Pearl (light spotted or heavy spotted)

I like piebald the most. I have a gray and a pearl, and love them so, their feathers were gorgeous :)

yeah i know what you mean adn you are totaly right, i just wanted to see everyones preferences around colors, since i think we all want a nice tempered bird/cat/dog/hammie/etc. but we still have favorite colors and/or breeds.......... thanks for you comment :)

well being as the store was wrong and that Toivo is a Pearl, not a pied(as I have been informed by national cockatiel society panalists) I am a little biased and have to go with Pearl :p

I like that overall dark grey one, s/he looks like a dove.
