She really is gorgeous and she knows it! I love, love, love her beak. I think dark beaks like that are the bomb.
Marshmallow is so pretty! I love lutinos too and originally, that's what mutation I really had my heart sort of set on.

Maya is a beautiful bird! Her colors are gorgeous and she's just got a bit of that "puffball" thing going on.

She's a gorgeous girl and your boys must be blind not to see it.

Seriously. What the heck are those boys thinking? She's a total catch.

Thank you guys! I am thinking the same thing. Maya is really pretty. I seriously wonder why they don't want her. I wish I can read my birds mind.

I have to think they'll catch on sooner or later. I don't know anything about this sort of stuff, but what if you just brought her inside for a while with a boy of your choosing, one you think would be a good mate for her. Let them live together for a while to see what would happen, maybe they'd bond better without the distraction of all the other birds in the aviary? I'm not saying put a nest box and get their hormones going and stuff, just have them live together as roomies for a few weeks to see if their relationship changes.
If you had your choice, who would want to be her mate?
I can see she's a whiteface but what other mutations does she have? I love her dark beak, if it were me, I'd love to pair her with someone who also had the WF gene along with a dark beak and feet.

When it comes to romance cockatiels tend to do the opposite of what we want them to. I have several males who are pursuing a hen who already has a mate so I got Priscilla, a beautiful little hen, so one of them could stop chasing the impossible dream and have a real mate. They all prefer the hen they can't have and ignore her, although once in a while one of them will pay a little attention to her. I still have hope that eventually one of them will wise up.
