Answer 1

If by Parakeet you mean budgie (since there are other types of parakeets out there)

Male:
Young bar head males - (the black stripe touch the beak) will have a very bright smooth pink cere.

Older males- no bars and maybe an iris ring (white ring in eye) will have a strong blue cere which will be smooth.

Albino/lutino, other red eyed mutations and Recessive pied males- the males do not get the grown up blue colour but rather keep the baby pink.

Females:
Young bar heads - these can have a range of colours from a pinky tone with white rings around the nares to a blue white all over the cere.

Older females - The cere around the age of 6 months will start to change from the baby colour to a deeper brown and will start to appear crusty. This can change depending on the time of year, this dark borwn colour normally found when the female is in breeding condition. When she isn't the brown can peel off and be a light blue colour.

Alblino/lutino, other red eyed mutations and Recessive pied - unlike the males the females of these types get the same changes as any other female.

Answer 2

You can tell by certain signs:
1. you can tell if it's a boy by looking at the top of the beak where it joins the face (the nostrils), just below the eyes. It's blue if it's a boy and brown/tan if it's a girl.
2. you can tell it's age by the black "wrinkles" on the forehead. In a young bird (less than a year) these black lines come down almost all the way to its beak. In an older bird it's all white.
