Not necessarily. Both males and females can have yellow tails.
There is also an urban myth that males have striped/barred or spotted tails and females do not. There is no evidence to substantiate this. There seems to be more evidence to support the contrary theory, that males have a solid slate grey underside to their tail, while females have a barred or mottled underside. However, it need to be noted that, with the many variations that have been bred into cockatiels since they became popular aviary birds, both males and females can have variegated tail feathers. Reputable bird identification websites will show that this is not always the case.
What else can I help you with?
Your cockatiel has dark grey tail feathers and only two horizontal striped feathers does this mean it is a female?
No. not neccessarily. Male cockatiels usually are more vocal than females so start with that. If you still can not determine the sex. Look to see if he/she has lots of yellow around the face. If there is alot of yellow they are usually male. Then there the tail thing. Usually alot of the feathers will have the stripes but not all. If you still dont know, i suggest you take it to a vet and have it sexed.
Will an all gray cockatiel get colors as it ages?
Young grey cockatiels will usually get yellow wing and tail feathers, and coloured cheek patches as they mature.
How can I tell the sex of my cockatiel it is all yellow with orange cheeks and red eyes?
It is probably a male, as the males have bright colors and is much more colorful than the female.look at his/her tale to see if there is bars across it, and if it mimics or talks its most likely a malee. but the way you described your cockatiel it sounds like a male with the yellow and red cheeks. :)
Do you have to have a male cockatiel to fertilize a female cockatiel?
Yes. Your female cockatiel may lay an egg however without a male it will not be fertilised and therefore a dud.
What does it mean if your cockatiel has spots under and on its tail?
This does not mean anything. Some sites will claim this is an indication of whether the bird is male or female, but the presence of spots has nothing to do with its gender.
Is a male or a female cockatiel more friendly?
FEMALE
Can a male finch live with a female cockatiel?
A male finch can't really live with a female cockatiel as you should not mix straight-beaked and hooked-beak birds.

How do you get female cockatiel birds to fall pregnant without mating?
You cannot. A female cockatiel needs a male cockatiel to mate with her before she will produce fertile eggs. And incidentally, birds do not "fall pregnant".
When was Yellow-tail created?

Can you house a female and a male cockatiel together?
Yes, that's how you get more cockatiels.
