Let me start
off by saying that these things are the things that are typically Characteristics
of male and female. There
have been exceptions to all of these. It is only a generalization.
Also keep in mind that this doesn't
apply if your cockatiel is
under 8 weeks, or so, of age.
Or after their first molt.
Characteristic | M | F |
Brightly colored face | * | |
Drab face colors or not so brightly colored face | * | |
Sings, whistles, and maybe talks | * | |
Quiet, but more cuddly | * | |
Feathers surrounding vent are for the most part plain. | * | |
Feathers surrounding vent have bars running accross them. | * |
The only way
you can be 100% sure is if you get your bird DNA sexed.
I hope this
helps! If you have any other ways to sex cockatiels please feel free
to express
them to me!
Or if you would
like to correct me you can e-mail
me.
