I have 2 parakeets that I have had for almost a year. One has a brown 'cere' and one is pink or flesh colored. What do I have, male or female?

I am SO sorry that you are getting such terrible answers to your question!
Absolutely for certain, your brown cere one is a female.
The pink or flesh colored? Well, I would love to see that one. It depends. Does the bird have red eyes? Sometimes their ceres color out differently than the typical keet. Also a pied or harlequin color (white with another color spotted in, or yellow with another color spotted in) can have untraditional cere colorations.
If the cere in a white or yellow keet is pink or purple, it is most likely a male. If it is off-white, it is most like a female.
I would love to see a picture. I have been raising parakeets, both English and American varieties, for a LONG time! I could give you a better estimate on the pink cered one! Let me know and I will e-mail you my e-mail address.

Male Parakeets have a blue band on top of their noses.

Not sure if you can tell the sex of parakeets or not. I know most birds will have to have sexing done at a vet's office in order to know for sure. Find an exotic vet and ask them

I understand that male parakeets have small dark markings under their beaks, around the neck area, and females do not.

the pink one is to young to tell, but the brown one is most certainly female
