Question

How can you tell whether the parakeet is a boy or a girl?

Answer 1

I'm not to sure of this subject but ithink it's the flesh above there beaks, also i think you can get the pet or whoever to check because females birds have a wider bones or some thing for the eggs

Answer 2

Males keets have blue ceres (the area above their beak where their nostrils are located) and female keets have brown/beige/tan/white. However, a keet needs to be about 5-6 months of age (at least 1 molt) as the cere color can change a little with age. With multicolored ceres, DNA sexing is usually best unless, of course, a bird lays an egg!

Answer 3

If your bird is young it will probably have black lines running across his head and down its neck- this is an easy way to determine the age and help determine the s*x of your budgie.

If it does have lines- the cere will be either pink or pale blue.  pink cere means its a boy, a pale blue means its a girl.

As budgie ages, the cere will change colour from pink to dark blue and from pale blue to brown.

Answer 4

This usually is easy.Unless your parakeet is pure white.Could you tell us what color he/she is?

Usually the cere(the raised patch above the beak where the nostrils are located) is colored blue/purple or beige/brown.Blue/purple-ish is a boy.And beige/brown is a girl.This color only comes out when the bird is mature.Young birds are almost impossible to determine.So you might have to wait a few months if you just got yours and it is young.If a female,the cere can even get a brown crusty appearance.This is perfectly normal.

If you have a pure white parakeet or even a mostly white parakeet ,the cere can be a faint  pinkish/slight tinge of blue, and I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to what s*x it is.
