Normal grey cock and depending on it's age it's a pearl hen... How old is it?

in the first picture the one on the right is a pearl. if it already molted once then it is a female. since the females keep their pearls and males lose them.

 

the last picture, the one on the left is a male grey and it looks to be split to pied because of the white patch.

okay thanks very much.

The grey male is atleast 1 1/2 years old as I bought him in january last year. The Yellow cockatiel I bought last month so the grey cockatiel would have a mate, the breeder told me she was over 1 year old.

THanks

I agree that the pearl is a (pretty) hen and the grey is a cock. I feel The grey is a pearl. I have a pearl cock who kept thoes same marks on the back of his head after his moult.
