Well you should to an Avian Vet

they should tell you if your birds

are female or male.

Answer 2

Usually on mature cockatiels there is one difference in appearance that can sometimes be used to seperate the genders. Females have barring on their tails while males lack this. But there is a catch, pied cokatiels are not sexually dimorphic meaning that they cannot be distinguished by appearance alone. There are other factors you must consider as well...

Male cockatiels are more vocal and they often sing and sometimes talk more than females. So if one of your cockatiels is especially well...noisy...than its probably a male. This is not always the case though and to be absolutely certain, you can take your birds to an avian vet and have them DNA tested or you can order a free sample kit form http://www.avianbiotech.com, pluck a few chest feathers and send the sample in and have them DNA Test it. The cost usually for feather testing(which i prefer since i think its less traumatic for the birds) is $24.50 per test. I have done this with my birds and was very pleased at how fast the results came back(you can view them online).

If both parents are pearl pied, you will need dna tests.  Otherwise you'll have to wait until they have their first molt.  Males lose most of the pearls.

"Some mutations are s*x-linked and you can often tell the s*x of these by knowing the colors of the parents. Lutinos, Cinnamons, and Pearls are common s*x linked mutations. Basically, if the father carries the s*x-linked color either visually or as a split and the mother does not visually show that color, (females can't be split to a s*x link mutation -- yes, this is backwards from humans and other mammals) any babies with that coloring are female. When the male parent is split not all of the female babies will be the mutation color but all babies of the mutation color will be female. "
