blangschpeer Posted November 3, 2007 Well it's taken nearly 2 years but I've finally made it to my centurian post Anyway, I'm giving away 50 peyote seeds to the first person to correctly identify all the colour mutations of my cockatiels Sounds easy, but looks can be decieving So without further ado, I introduce to you all: Baby boy (origionally called Hans) Sweetie cluck (origionally called nibbler) Peaches And finally Griffin (AKA Chickun) Everyone can have 2 guesses. Good luck people! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aya Posted November 3, 2007 Congrats on the 100th post! By colour mutations do you mean colours that they have which they shouldn't have? Anyway... I see yellow, orange, white, grey. Plus a light blue and a green, but this could be due to the flash and quality of the photo. Thanks for the comp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus a light blue and a green, but this could be due to the flash and quality of the photo. Thanks for the comp. I mean the specific name of the mutation e.g. albino, lutino or pastel cheek.... Sorry about the ambiguity there But yeah, I wish I had a blue or a green cockatiel, they're worth thousands, there are only a handful in existence.... For now.....

occidentalis Posted November 3, 2007 But yeah, I wish I had a blue or a green cockatiel, they're worth thousands, there are only a handful in existence.... For now..... Can you graft them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blangschpeer Posted November 3, 2007 I guess if you could graft them, it would be called an "airiol graft" By the way, Happy 200th post Aya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

genki Posted November 3, 2007 i dont know anything about these birds but from having a look at pictures on the internet id guess 1. white faced 2. pearl 3. cinnamon 4. white face pied Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ENtiTY Posted November 4, 2007 Its perdy hard to correctly ID the mutations because of the quality of the pics and not being of the full bird but here goes, 1. White faced Platinum 2. Pearl 3. Cinnamon Pearl 4. White face grey My best guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blangschpeer Posted November 5, 2007 I can see this competition is nearly over, each bird has been correctly identified at some point... Here's a hint, where Harry was wrong -Genki was right, where Genki was wrong -Harry was right; it's all down to the correct placement of one word. Sorry about the picture quality people, they're a little bit camera shy. Actually, they're scared of most things, you should hear them scream when a butterfly flies past the window Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XipeTotec Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) 1. White faced 2. Pearl 3. Cinnamon 4. White face pied hows that? Edited November 5, 2007 by XipeTotec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark80 Posted November 5, 2007 1. White faced2. Pearl 3. Cinnamon 4. White face pied hows that? White faced grey 2. Pearl 3. Cinnamon Pearl 4. White face Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ENtiTY Posted November 5, 2007 In that case I'll say: 1. White faced Pied 2. Pearl 3. Cinnamon Pearl 4. White face grey My second best guess Tell me about how timid teils are hehe. I thought it was just mine that had a phobia for flutterby's lol. Thanx for the comp by the way blang :B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genki Posted November 5, 2007 second guess: 1. white face 2. cinnamon pearl 3. cinnamon 4. white face pied Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blangschpeer Posted November 5, 2007 Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner named Harry! Congratulations man Shoot me a PM and I'll send you those seeds early next week (or tomorrow if I do any well on the melbourne cup, it my one bet a year) So for all those curious, Baby boy is a whiteface, Sweetie is a pearl, Peaches is a cinnamon pearl and Griffin is a whiteface pied. As the males mature they tend to lose thier markings, when we first got Griffin he looked like he was made out of lace but now he looks more like a standard whiteface. I just wish the little man wouldn't pluck, he's after sweetie but she doesn't want him. We usually have a vest for him so that he can't, but in warmer weather it really slows him down and he doesn't sing. Anyway, it's been fun watching this comp roll. Thanks to everyone who participated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to everyone who participated Awesome Unfortunatley by my reckoning my guess is still wrong. My last guess had Baby boy as a white face pied instead of a white face and Griffin as a white face instead of a white face pied. So close, some Loph seeds would of been awesome:( Ahhh well :B Anyway congrats to whoever reads this and makes the winning post hehe. Also thanks to Blangschpeer for an interesting comp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
