I will first off say that if you want to tell the sex of your keet, for sure, take your parakeet to an avian vet and they'll be perfectly capable of telling you the sex, for a price of course. For free, you can do it at home, (or at the pet store) but often you have to wait until they're at least 4 months old. (You can't for sure tell their age on their own, because once they've hatched, they won't actually leave the nest until they're about the same size as their parents. Although, one way to determine if they're under a year old is by the bars on their heads, the closer the bars are to their eyes, the younger they are. Once the bars reach the bottom of their skull, (the nape of their neck) this method isn't useful anymore to determine age, because then they're at least a year old by this point.)
Now for the information you're actually looking for: All parakeets have something called a cere right above their beaks. They look like nostrils because there are two little holes. If the cere is brown, tan or variant of those colors, it means that your parakeet is a female. If the cere is blue, your parakeet is a male. If the cere is white, give it some more time to judge it's sex in this way (and by more time, I'm referring to months). Alternatively, if you're too impatient, you could always take it to a vet to have its sex determined there.
