One of my pairs of cockatiels had a clutch of babies. There was 2 greys with a lot of yellow dots on them and there was 2 that i thought were pearls, but as they got older they turned more yellow. I think that they might be just pearls with alot of yellow, but I am not sure. I tried finding ones that looked like that on the internet, but I could not find any. I will try to attach a picture. Thanks

Looks like a pearl to me. Could have another mutation but it's hard to tell.

Pearl. It is hard to see exact color, but here is a link to a Cinimon pearl pied, the gray would be lighter on this bird than a normal pearl. http://www.cockatiels.org/mutations/Ecinpearl.jpg
Females will retain their pearls after the first molt, males do not.
