Gender identification of cockatiels / How to know whether your cockatiel is a male or female.
Gender Identification of Pearl cockatiel, Albino Cockatiels & Lutino Cockatiel Parrots.
The ways to determine the gender of cockatiel
Cockatiels are one if not the most favorite pet birds out there. They are smart, charming, interactive, and beautiful. They have some unique aspects to their personality and appreciating them for who they are is key to living in harmony with Nymphicus hollandicus.
Not all parrot species are “sexually dimorphic,” which means you can tell the males and females apart. With cockatiels, most color mutations (coloring that is different from the wild cockatiel’s) have markings that you can use to determine what gender cockatiel you have.
In addition to the markings, you can use other methods to determine your cockatiel’s gender. Although you can choose to perform a DNA test, you can also use some behavioral tendencies to tell apart the hens (female birds) from the cocks (male birds).
Immature birds may not have many behaviors to give you a clue on the gender so you typically will need to wait until 10-12 months of age. Some males, however, will be precocious and show song and courtship behavior early in their first year.
How to identify the sex of a Pearl Cockatiel
The pearls typically indicate female if the bird is a year or older, so if you choose not to DNA test your bird, you should see the pearls starting to fade away around 8-12 months old (if a male) or remain unchanged if a girl.
Special Note On Albino Cockatiels : Cockatiels do not have a true “albino” mutation as they don’t carry the BLUE gene. Albino cockatiels are produced by breeding two other cockatiel morphs together -- specifically whiteface cockatiels and lutino cockatiels. Lutino cockatiels often have entirely white or yellowish plumage, along with intense orange markings on their cheeks.
