i have 2 yellow cocktail parrots how do u tell if there male or female?

Answer 1

There is absolutely no visual way to sex lutinos. Lutino is a sex linked mutation. So, if you purchased this bird from a breeder you can always ask the breeder what sex it is. She should know. Unless she bred 2 lutinos. Males will begin whistling at about 4 months. Females are generally very quiet. Unless you are breeding your cockatiels then you really don't need to know the sex. However, if you must know you can do 1 of 2 things.
1) have it dna sexed with toenail blood or feathers. go to http://www.avianbiotech.com/
2)take it to your vet and have them surgically sex it

Answer 2

The only definite way to know for sure is having a DNA test. Normally male parrot species are brighter colours than the females. Males also talk clearer than females, and they tend to whistle more tunefully. They also behave differently depending on their sexual maturity. Males bob their heads up and down a lot - some kind of mating ritual. If your bird is female, she WILL lay eggs at some stage regardless of whether there is another male bird around or not, they just won't be fertile. So in time, if he/she hasn't laid any eggs, you could probably safely assume it is a he! I have 2 cockatiels, but they are easier to sex than the larger parrots. (we now also have chicks!) Hope that helps

Answer 3

On a female the pelvic bone is wider for the eggs and on a male it feels more like the two pelvic bones are one. The sounds my male makes are more high pitched and my female sounds more like a coo. There is another way to tell something about the gray lines on their wings or something but I never figured it out. The beak or nose color thing is for parakeets not cockatiels. Good Luck!

Answer 4

With lutino cockatiels (no grey present) it is very difficult to tell.

You can have them DNA tested to tell if it really matters to you. http://www.avianbiotech.com/

At about 6-12 months of age, the males will whistle a lot and the females will be quieter.

Answer 5

I don't know but mine figured it out all by themselves. Eleven were brought to me for rescue when their owner passed away. I gave all away but three. One is blind in one eye, one is almost totally bald from being a neurotic feather plucker and one is very handsome and acts like the male. Funny thing is that he adores that ugly bald girl and makes mad passionate love to her all the time while the one eyed guy watches. I keep thinking they are going to die of old age as they are all over ten years old now but still doing fine. I just read the stuff about the beaks being different but they are all alike on mine.

Answer 6

i forgot but theres sumthing about the color under the wings in the male and female cocktails dat sets dem apart

Answer 7

Hey
you can tell a female if the beak is pink or with color the males beak have no color is very pale look between their eyes you will see it

Answer 8

If you feel right in between their legs, you will feel like sticks. (sounds weird). If you feel two sticks that are more wide open or apart than its a girl. It you feel two sticks that are more close together than its a boy.

Answer 9

Well, the male is brightly colored and the females look dull and gray. That is because the males try to attract the females and that is why they have the bright colors..
