What would be your cockatiel choice??

as you may know i´m 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 i´ll just describe them in my own way :p ;) )

Normal Gray (various shades of gray)

Personality and Additude
Not colors.It is not a good idea.
my tiel was a grey female but i didn't pick her out for her color
P.S.I am not tring to be rude.if i come off that why

I like Normal gray

Lutino is my favourite.

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.

I like the pied and the lutino, but I chose the lutino

im undecided between the pearl and the pied...as always. :rolleyes: :D

white face

I like pied, pearl, and lutino. Such a hard choice!

I have 2 grey, 2 cinnamon and a white face. My first cockatiel was a cinnamon pearl.
