Here's an online Cockatiel genetic calculator, it will tell you what you'll get:

Answer 2

Can't wait for the outcome!!! I checked out this site for genetics and different mutations on tiels. Oh not to mention the cross mutations.

The Cinnamon-Pearl-Pied Cockatiel

This triple mutation cockatiel has the coloration of a Cinnamon with the feather patterns of both a Pied and a Pearl.

The female will retain her pearling, while the male will lose most or all his pearling by the second molt.

An excellent specimen will have symmetrical markings, preferably in a 70% Pied to 30% melanin (in this case Cinnamon) ratio, with pearling throughout the Cinnamon.

Answer 3

well,1 pair of mine was a grey female with a yellow&grey male.of 17 babies they had 4 grey/yellow pied/pearled & the rest were all grey with yellow or cream colored head&face.
another pair is cinnimon female with yellow/cinnomon male and all of there 7 babies were yellow/cinnomon pied/pearled and my last pair are a grey male &cinnomon/yellow pearled female and all there babies so far are yellow cinnimon pearled/pied. not sure if this helps you,hope so.

Answer 4

Unless you purchased her through a breeder that breeds specific cats most cats are either Domestic Short, Medium or Long hair Your cat has a short hair coat so it is a Domestic Short Hair

Answer 5

Genetics are interesting. The offspring can show the predominate traits of one parent or the other...or a unique combination of both.


I miss my cockatiel...........
