Yes, cockatiels can talk. I have a friend who will screach "pretty bird" until he gets attention from someone. It may take a while but if you recite a phrase enough (and beware anybody that uses foul language) they will eventually learn to talk.

It should be noted that cockatiels do not actually talk. They mimic sounds, including human speech, but are incapable of forming intelligent sentences or associations with the words they seem to say.

No, it's not impossible for a female cockatiel to talk, but it is less common compared to males. Male cockatiels are generally more vocal and are known for their ability to mimic sounds and words.

Can a gray cockatiel and a lutino cockatiel have lutino babies?

Yes, a gray cockatiel and a lutino cockatiel can have lutino babies. The lutino coloration is a result of a recessive gene, so if the gray cockatiel carries the gene for lutino (which can be the case if it is a split gray), there is a chance that some offspring may inherit the lutino trait. If the gray cockatiel does not carry the lutino gene, all the babies will be gray or gray mutations, but none will be lutino.
