Pied Cockatiel
The Pied cockatiel is the first mutation of cockatiel colour genetics, with a mostly grey to light-yellow and white feathers and orange cheek patches. Pied cockatiels have large, random blotches of colour on their bodies, after the " normal grey" or "wild type" of a cockatiel's plumage is primarily grey with prominent white flashes on the outer edges of each wing. Bird breeders can breed for certain traits, and they have been breeding for different colour mutations in cockatiels since the 1940s. The pied cockatiel mutation was the first cockatiel mutation colour to be established in United States in 1951. The Pied appeared exactly by the aviaries of "Mr. D. Putman" of San Diego, California, United States. After this first genetic colour mutation the cockatiel bird Knew a series of mutations like Lutino cockatiel as second cockatiel colour genetics, first appeared in 1958, White-faced cockatiel (first appeared in 1964), Cinnamon cockatiel, and the Pearled cockatiel which ...

Nymphicus Hollandicus - Pet ADMpied
The cockatiel (; ''Nymphicus hollandicus''), also known as the weero/weiro or quarrion, is a medium-sized parrot that is a member of its own branch of the cockatoo family endemism in birds, endemic to Australia (continent), Australia. They are prized as exotic household pets and companion parrots throughout the world and are relatively easy to breed compared to other parrots. As a caged bird, cockatiels are second in popularity only to the budgerigar. The cockatiel is the only member of the genus ''Nymphicus''. It was previously unclear whether the cockatiel is a crested parakeet or small cockatoo; however, more recent molecular studies have assigned it to its own subfamily, Nymphicinae. It is, therefore, now classified as the smallest subfamily of the Cacatuidae (cockatoo family). Cockatiels are native to Australia, favouring the Australian wetlands, scrublands, and bushlands. There are many different mutations of this bird. Taxonomy and etymology Originally described by J. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
