Cockatiels are bred for a variety of traits including:
- Crest
- Eye Size
- Disposition
- Length
- Parenting Skills
- Clutch Size
- Mutation
- Size of Chest
- Head Size
Breeders of Cockatiels typically discover their likes and dislikes along the breeding
road and apply what they like to see in their birds to their individual breeding
programs. Usually, this is done by holding back birds that display as close to what

also show these attributes. Applying this technique over generations of breeding,
results in these traits becoming "locked" into a line (or family) of birds.
