What are the pro's and con's of a male cockatiel, what are the pro's and con's for a female?

Question

i am looking into buying a cockatiel and idk what gender to purchase

Answer 1

The males are louder when they talk.

Answer 2

In most cases, females seem to be more affectionate than males, but in 'tiels it seems to be equal.  Males are better "singers" and will learn songs easier and more accurately than females do.  Males like to get close to your face and sing to you, almost like they're trying to impress you.  Femsales are cuddly as well, but once they reach sexual maturity, you'll have to deal with eggs (infertile if you have no male), cranky nesting behavior, and the possibility of egg binding, which is almost always fatal.  If you aren't planning on breeding, and you're just looking for a single pet, then I would go with a male.  

Good luck!
