How do you tell if my Bird is a Boy or a Girl?

Question

My bird is a kakariki (New Zealand parrot) it's about 2 years old and as a random guess about 7cm from head to rear end, its fairly small. It never use to bite as much but is a real killer now but its not too painful nor does he/she make you bleed. Any of this help to find out he/she's s*x type?

Answer 1

well the only way for shure to get ur bird sexed is if u do a DNA test.some pet stores do it so if u want to know just call ur local pet store.

Answer 2

Any tybe, any gender of bird may bite

hold on

Answer 3

If you know someone else who has a male & female then there is a way you can tell.

Male kakariki's are slightly larger, have a broader beak & rounded head.

These days in some kakariki mutations it can be impossible to tell the s*x as their sizes can vary.

Answer 4

in all birds.. even in parakeets and finches... the only 100 % way to tell is to get a DNA test done at a vet office... sometimes in finches the feathers have different patterns/colors and sometimes in parakeets the nares(sp) (aka above the nose/beak) are different colors literally blue for boys and pink/tan for girls...

with almost all (if not all) big birds and parrots... A DNA test is a must... there are generally NO differences in color OR temperment... or size for that matter...

Answer 5

You cannot tell the s*x unless the color markings are different in the female versus the male...but most parrot breeds are the same coloring.  You can take your bird to a bird vet and he/she should be able to tell....there is no other way...sorry.

Answer 6

you have to get a blood test on it
