    if you use the normals you will get normals split to lutino and blue ( whiteface ). if you use the wfcinpearlpied you will get all whiteface ( blue ) young but the hens will get the pearl and the cinnamon gene also, so you hens will be wf cin pearl split pied and the boys will be wf split lutino, cin, pearl and pied if there are no other genes hidden.

    Either of the normal grey males would be best. Then, if you get chicks that are possibly white faced, you can perhaps breed them to the white face cinnamon pearl once they become mature.

    Check the websites for the National Cockatiel Society and/or the American Cockatiel Society. Either one should have more genetics and breeding information.

    Lutino could have bald spots regardless. The breeder i'm working with has 37 years breeding tiels. She instructed me to no longer breed 2 tiels which have albinism or lutino. The chicks would nicely be greater companies to wellness subject concerns.

    generally the normal grey adult would be the best mate and you will probably get a split nest of offspring with more stamina
