Answer 1

You should be able to tell the s*x of a white cockatoo from its eye colour.

A male will have black eyes and a female will have brown eyes.

With black cockatoos you can usually tell from the plumage- most have very different markings.

In galahs, a male will have brown eyes and a female will have pink eyes.

I know that you need to dna s*x Major Mitchell cockatoos, but im not sure if there are any other cockatoos that are monomorphic. Most do have slight differences in appearance.

Answer 2

some birds you can tell male from female by the color of the bird usually the brighter prettier in colors is a male but some birds you need to have DNA test done or just wait a few years if you have a empty egg in the cage well you got your self a female ( yes empty egg aka hollow) hope this helps  

Answer 3

i know with alot of birds you can tell when they get older because the males talk more than females....hope it helps thats all i can think about

Answer 4

You will have to have the bird DNA sexed. You can order the kit online, but I suggest going to an Avian Vet to have it done.
