how can i tell if a peach fronted parakeet is a male or female?

Answer 1

Luckily for us, most parakeets come color-coded. The boys usually have ceres (the patches of skin over their beaks) that are blue, and girls generally have pink or white ceres. There are some exceptions, but the rule is usually very reliable. If your parakeet doesn't fit the pattern, your veterinarian can do a gender check for you.

Answer 2

If by parakeet you mean a budgie, you can sex it by the cere (fleshy nose bit). But if it's a peach-faced lovebird, or some other kind of parakeet you'll probably have to have it sexed. See below link.

Answer 3

You can have your bird DNA tested. It's easy. Here's a link:

You can take the sample yourself & send it to them. It costs between $19-23. It's alot cheaper than having a vet do it & you get the result in about 3-5 days.

Answer 4

male parakeet have blue above their beak and females are usually white above the beak

Answer 5

look at their nostrils (the colored thing abobe the beak, i forget what it's called), if its bright blue its probably a male, if colorless probably a female. this is not a sure way but it really is the only other way besides blood testing.

Answer 6

you can not tell you have to take them to the vet to be sexed by blood or they can surgically sex them but blood is easier and safer
