sex of cockatiel

How can the sex of a cockatiel be determined?

Hi,

Many mutations can be visually sexed, but some cannot. You can send some pictures to [email protected] showing the head, body and if possible the underside of the tail and wings. If your bird is under a year old, then it is still too young and you need to wait until it goes through the first adult molt.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
