    Wow- he is pretty! His eye is awfully dark so I think its a male also. I am so glad you are pleased! I know you were worried about him.

    Arieas,

    Since you asked, he is a he LOL Whiteface are sexually dimorphic. Hens never get the whiteface as it is a sexlinked color mutation. So with out a doubt he is a he!!

    As for a name cant help you there, he is too handsome for the standard names I can think of

    White face tiels are a sex linked color mutation, hens never get the whiteface.

    It is a boy, and striped tails happens with males also.

    I love the name Mac! He's so cute. I just know that he and Tiki will enjoy each others company and soon become best friends.

    Just wanted to add a clarification to this statement. With normal whitefaces (which are a mutation of a normal grey cockatiel) the males do have white faces and the females have grey faces. However not all whiteface cockatiel mutations follow the same rule. Peid-whitefaces and lutino-whitefaces (or albino) cannot be visually sexed. Mac is a normal whiteface though, so yes he is indeed a male.

    Thank you for clarifying.

    I should have posted that also, however I was lazy.

    As I said in another thread, best way to know for sure (minus the few sexually dimorphics in avians) is to have the bird sexed by a vet.

    Thank you again.
