how can I determinate sun conure's sex?

Question

I want to separate the female and male sun conures, but I don't know which is male or female, could someone help me please?

Answer 1

Undeterminable by appearance. However, you can take a guess by looking at the shape of the bird's head. Females have a rounder and smaller head than the male. The male's head is squarer, with a flatter forehead.
the only accurate way is dna testing................

Answer 2

Hey

There isnt a way really, if u tried u would end up getting it wrong anyway,

Its best to get them DNAed, take them to your vets and they will pull two or three chest feathers,

Or if u cant afford to have vet do it, do it yourself, ring up a place who dna's birds and ask for dna bags and forms, then get someone to hold the bird in a towel on its back and you carefully seperate its chest feathers try and grab from right close to the body (make sure u pull one at a time) and pull quick u will hear a "snapping" sound, dont touch the end of the feather just drop it in bag, and send them off it only takes a few days for results after that....
