Hi cockatiels love lots of greens like broccolli cabbage things like that aswell as apples banana..

A asortment of seeds and cockatiel pellets can be given Millet sunflower seeds a proper cockatiel mix can be bought which has all types of seeds and nuts in.

With it still being only a baby a soft rearing food can be given aswell.

Telling the sex of albino's and lutino's is a little harder i have added a link and they will be happy to help you sex the bird..

Alex, my female latino is a beautiful Yellow with striking red ears!! SHe loves seeds of all kinds, but your not supposed to feed them too many sunflower seeds.

When we cook veggies each night we put aside carrots and broccoli, cabbage, greens, and pretty much everything else. SHe loves it! And really likes boiled chicken (go figure)... You should introduce her to a little bit of cooked meats not ground hamberger, but chicken, steaks stuff like that, without seasonings, it has vital vitamins that they need and definately don't forget the friuts. Oranges and bananas especially.

If it doesn't like it, take the seeds out during the day and leave the veggies in there, when you get home and knotice some is gone, then give her the seeds back. THen repeat every day until he/she's eating both regularly!
