Sex of this Cockatiel

Hi everyone,

I would like to seek expert opinion about the sex of my recently purchased about 1 year old cockatiel.

Please let me know how many percent it is of male or female.

Thanks in advance.

I would say from the last pic that it could be male.However, you can further confirm that by checking its wings feathers to see if there are bars/lines on them.Also see if it is noisy in the sense that it likes to mimic and whistle.If yes than its a boy.Looks very healthy though.

Thanks for the feedback...

When you say check the wing feathers, you are meaning the feathers beneath the wing??

Last week when it came back, not much of chirping. These few days starting to chirp a lot... single chirps rather than whistling...



Best regards,

Hi Tom,

I my opinion, for this mutation it is still difficult to check the wings or the tail feather... it is because it will have some 'yellowish' colour which it a feature of a female.

The best observation now possibly at their behaviour, as per cockatielluver mention, normally the male is more vocal and more aggressive compared to female...

If the bird is older you will also able to observed the tune of their calling as for male, they will have some specific calling which is not in female.
