How can you tell if a pareet is male or female?

The surest way to determine the sex of your parakeet is to take it to an avian veterinarian to have it surgically sexed. To try to determine your parakeet's sex on your own, look at it's cere (the fleshy part just above its beak around the nostrils). If your bird is younger than twelve months, it may be impossible to visually identify whether it is male or a female without the help of the vet. Normally, in adult male parakeets, the cere will be blue or purplish (if your bird is recessive pied, fallow, lacewing, lutino, or dark-eyed clear then the cere will be bright purple or pink).
