By the color of the feathers. Male birds are usually more colorful.

Yes, the majority of parrots cannot be sexed by anything you can see. There are some parrots that can be sexed by looking at certain feathers or color but that is rare. Most of time you will need a blood test to tell for sure. However, if the bird lays an egg then you know it is a female.

Majority of parrots are not sexually dimorphic, which means you cannot in no way shape or form tell just by looking at it if it is male or female. Some people say that in Cockatoos that the females have reddish brown eyes and males have greyish black, but I have met DNA sexed males that had reddish brown eyes, so its no always a sure sign. For the most part the only way to check is to have a DNA test done by a vet. But then again if your bird starts laying eggs, thats always a sure sign too!
