Lutinos are often difficult to sex visually because of the lack of colour contrast. A female lutino cockatiel will usually have spots on the underside of the flight feathers and barring or stripes on the underside of the tail feathers. This difference in the sexes can only be used to sex adult birds as all young birds ie under 6 months old look like females.

As for crackers, as an occasional treat - cockatiels love them!
