Hello,

You can tell the s*x of the parakeet by looking at the cere above the beak.  If it's blue it is a male, if tan it's a female.  As for the age of the bird you can tell if it's a young bird if it still has the black bands on top of its head.  An adult will have one solid color from forehead to top of head.  You can tell the aprox. age of an adult by looking at the feet.  Young birds will have smooth pretty feet.  You can go to your local Pet Store and post a lost poster, find a local bird club and post in the newsletter that you found a bird.  Chances are it is not wild.  Hope this helps you :)
