Answer 1

You can tell by the coloring..If its a normal Grey one as it matures its head will turn mostly Yellow If its Male...Females will continue to look like a baby grey They may have a bit of Yellow on their head and face but not as much.You can Google Cockatiels(Male and Female) and see the diferences..If its a Pearl a Male will lose the Pearling(Though it will still be a pearl) Males are also alot more Vocal..Whistle more and even can learn to talk a bit..Every male in our Aviary Could Say"I'm a Chicken" at one point!

Answer 2

I'm not sure what "the bottom of da cage" has to do with anything, but I suggest taking your bird to a vet. He or she can tell you the gender, either by visual identification or by DNA test.

If you don't have a vet, you can find one at http://aav.org/vet-lookup
