Your cockatiel is really cute!

Do you already know if it's a boy a or a girl? How are this noises? They are like shouts or whistle?

If they're like whitles, it's a male. ut i guees it itsn't whitle yet, because he is really young. They use to start whistling at 12-15 weeks.

Just a detail: you cockatiel is a Gray split pied
