With the availability of the Whiteface mutation, the cockatiel's wide colour varieties are divided into 2 main classes (or series): Yellow base: with psittacofulvin (yellow and orange) pigments. White base: without psittacofulvin pigments; Some white-faced cockatiels have entirely white bodies and red eyes.
The colour in cockatiels is derived from two pigments: melanin (which provides the grey colour in the feathers, eyes, beak, and feet), and psittacofulvins (which provide the yellow colour on the face and tail and the orange colour of the cheek patch). The grey colour of the melanin overrides the yellow and orange of the psittacofulvins when ...
When a bronze fallow cockatiel is born, it has a pale pink eye. As they mature ,the eye color slightly darkens, a bronze fallow cockatiel's eyes are lighter than a Lutino cockatiel, whose red eye is darker. A yellow wash may emerge across the body. [2] One feature is unlike other mutations. Male bronze fallow cockatiels differ from females.
The "albino cockatiel" is not a true albino, it is a combination of a "white-faced cockatiel" and a "Lutino cockatiel". The "Whiteface gene" removes all the yellow and orange that would be present in a Lutino. and the "Lutino gene" removes all the black and grey. The result is an all white cockatiel with red eyes. [4]

All cockatiel colour genetic mutations have the same calls. The male lutino cockatiels can talk, sing, and dance (shakes head, makes the wings heart-shaped, etc.) to attract female cockatiels. Lutino cockatiels appear as full body in color yellow with two orange circular spots around the ear and cheek area.
