Healthy cockatiels are not colorblind. Cockatiels and other parrots can actually see a wider range of colors than humans can including parts of the ultraviolet spectrum. Some markings on parrots are only visible in the ultraviolet range of the spectrum. (See attached link about ultraviolet markings on another Australian species, the budgerigar). However, some color mutations can be linked to vision problems, especially whiteface lutino (often incorrectly called albino) cockatiels.
