Fallow or Bronze Fallow
Fallow cockatiels have a creamy cinnamon colored
body with red eyes, pink feet and beaks. While their
plumage is similar to our Cinnamon mutation, the
Fallow usually has a higher intensity of yellow
pigments.
In the fallow the melanin is changed from dark grey
to a tannish, pastel brown color with heavy yellow
suffusion in the feathers and diluted pigments in the
beak, feet, and eyes. Hens will also carry a more
vibrant, almost fluorescent, yellow coloration than
cocks, especially on the face and chest.
The fallow cockatiel mutation is very similar and
often mistaken for cinnamon and cinnamon lutinos.
But they are very different. Cinnamon cockatiels
are a brownish grey color with dark eyes. Fallow is
a recessive gene and therefore both parents must
carry it to produce visual chicks. Cocks and hens
can carry fallow as a split. Cinnamon is a
sex-linked gene which is passed from the cock to
produce visual daughters. Hens are never split for
cinnamon.
The fallow mutation can be produced in whiteface
and normal cheek, and combined with pearl or pied.
In the best breeding practices it is wise to avoid
breeding to cinnamon, ashen fallow/recessive
silver, dominant silver, emerald, and lutino.
