I might get a bird...........

The only cockatiels I've really been around have been the grey/yellow ones. Though GORGEOUS they may be, I haven't really seen a lot of the others (I have seen the white ones, GORGEOUS!!!) so definitely let us know, take pics if possible!! Good luck!

If you get a male peral tiel after his molt he will be a normal grey.Canery's i have never heard of one that would get on your hand.Budgies can learn to talk but in high pitched fasted voices

when my bro was little i gave him a canary for his birthday (yeah sure just to have an excuse to get a bird LOL) and i got him to get on my fingers never out of the cage but still..........

Congrats! 'Tiels are awesome little birds.

One thing to consider, as odd as it may sound, is that the albino 'tiels and Lutinos (yellows) are very prone to night-frights with their red eyes. All 'tiels can end up having them, but the red-eyed birds definitely seem to be more prone to them. My albino girl, Jaydi, had horrible night-frights every night, and was constantly breaking her bloodfeathers. I think I've needed to yank about 7 severely bleeding ones (they normally just need to clot up...clotting can be encouraged with corn startch or flour), which is really scary.

Cockatiels are super fun. I'm partial to the males, but the females are really charming.
