I am thinking about breeding my two cockatiels my male whiteface and my female cinnamon. I don't know about my males background but for my female the breeder said she might have a whiteface gene. Also can someone tell me why my males face is completely white yet? He's already a year old and his face still has some grey in it.

Your male just hasn't finished moulting out his face feathers, once he does he'll have a completely whiteface.
Male - Whiteface
Female - Cinnamon
Male chicks - Grey split whiteface cinnamon
Female chicks - Grey split whiteface
Or if the female is carrying the whiteface gene (i.e. is split to it)
Male - Whiteface
Female - Cinnamon split whiteface
Male chicks - Grey split whiteface cinnamon
Male chicks - Whiteface split cinnamon
Female chicks - Grey split whiteface
Female chicks - Whiteface

Okay thank you! But Im really bad when it comes to this stuff so basically I'll get normal greys if she doesn't have the whiteface gene and normal greys and whiteface?
