well i have 2 keets myself and i myself isn't sure iwhich one it which. online it says that females have a tan or pink cere. and males have blue-purplish. but the owner i got them from says the pink is male and the blue is female i don't know which one is which yet. we will see if they mate That is incorrect males have blue and females have dark pink and a little brown in them. So your parakeet is a female.
Parakeets breath through their cere, The small but cute set of openings located above their beak.
Males have a purple to dark blue colored cere (nose) and females have a white to light pink to brown (when ready to breed) cere.
Normally Blue is a cock. Brown is a hen
