how do i tell if my cockatil is a male or female?

Answer 1

if it was female.....it would be a c#ntateil!

Answer 2

a generally accurate give away is the crest above the beak.
females have tan to dark brown ones while males have blue ones. when the birds are young it may be harder to tell because the color is just developing.

good luck.

Answer 3

You will know for sure when she lays an egg, if he, you will not have egg to clean up after. You have to get the bird vaccinated at that point ask the doctor, some times it is vary hard to tell in the beginning.

a male cockateil is normally almost all yellow, and the female is almost always pied, aka kinda brown and yellow stripe thing going on.
