Bronze fallow cockatiel

The Bronze Fallow Cockatiel is a mutation of the cockatiel which is itself a part of the cockatoo family. The Fallow mutation means that this breed of cockatiel has red eyes. When they hatch, the Bronze Fallow Cockatiel will have pink eyes. They may darken as the bird ages, or they may remain a lighter pink color.

Plumage can range from Lutino, which is a yellow wash across the whole body, to a soft caramel color. The Fallow is likely to have a yellow wash across the chest and face. The female tends to be more attractive than the female, which is unusual in cockatiel color mutations. The males also tend to be more active and lively, darting around the cage, but the Bronze Fallow Cockatiel will usually display typical characteristics of the cockatiel genus.

They make good pets because they can live up to 20 years and this particular breed has been described as cuddly and even comical. They are considered one of the more outgoing breeds of birds.
