Quote:
One of your birds is defiantly a male. I raised cockatiels for years when I lived in the keys. If the coloring is there you have a male. If either bird is whistling and singing you have a male. If either bird head ducks you have a male. These are things that are not a female trait no matter what the age. Chirping is different from singing or whistling. Listen for the sounds, females do not sing. Head ducking is a male trait on crested parrots, this can be up and down movements or side to side movements.
