Birds

How can you tell female cockatiels to a male cockatiel

Hi,

You can tell the sex of some cockatiel mutations, but not all. So it depends on what color mutation your birds are, and they have to be over a year old. You can send me pics at [email protected] and I can let you know if their sex can be determined visually. Otherwise you have to do a DNA test.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
