Sorry, I know my bird.
That's just the shadows from the photograph/the transparency of her feathers with the flash. There's no grey on her at all.
She's yellow and white with orange cheeks. Also not all lutinos have bright red eyes. Her eyes are very dark, almost black, and only in certain light can you see the hint of red.

Here are some more photos of her:

Wow, it really looks like grey in this picture, like some sort of grey mane actually, haha. Sorry!

Yeah, I know not all lutinos have bright red eyes -- sometimes you have to hold a light up to them to see them. I was only explaining the typical characteristics of a lutino in case you didn't know because a lot of people don't. Take care.

Haha yeah, it looks like there's a grey cast over her.

That's alright haha. Some people are indeed not too knowledgeable about them (especially the people who call lutino cockatiels 'Latino'...they're not Latin American!). I've done extensive research though lol.

Hah! Yeah the 'latino' cockatiel is pretty funny lol.
I also have a lutino -- do you have any others?

Nope, just the one I was going to get a cinnamon as a friend for her a few weeks ago but the owner/lady selling the bird kept flaking It was too much effort. I might try to find another one sometime.

Good luck. I had one for a long time and eventually got a second. I don't regret it -- they really enjoy the company!
