One of the quickest and easiest ways to determine the sex of a cockatiel (or any bird, for that matter) is to feel their hip bones. If you have a male, the hip bones will be narrow... and the female's will be wide enough to pass an egg. And you can feel the bird's hip bones by holding the bird upside down and placing your thumb onto the bird's vent. Below the vent you will feel two protrusions under the skin. Those are the bird's hip bones. It'll be very obvious when you feel the bones as to a male or female, for the male hip bones are less than half a centimeter apart, whereas a female's will be more. (This works for all birds, you'll just need to adjust the scale accordingly.)
hi denny, i really want someone to talk to so i'll tell you this story. my birds we're outside for some fresh air, i was playing with them in the cage. my baby Nala was climbing around the cage when all of the sudden she flew away. i'm really worried, she's still somewhere close. i took a cage, opened it and put seeds in hoping she will come to eat, but she flew to a tree in my yard. that's good, i guess? i waited. but she never came, and i lost sight of her.i really hope she comes home i don't think she can make it alone :( thinking that she could be dead any time now really breakes my heart. i'm from kladanj btw. i was wondering, if you could do a video what to do to find lost birds?
I also lost one of my budgies it was a white birdy i kept my bird cage in the balcony at the evening almost the end of the day i didn't close the door properly it flew out and i only realized in the morning i was so sad as there were eagle's & crows & pigeons i got very scared as she would be there lunch and then i realized how much it hurts when someone loses there furry friend., This for our birds that got lost. I give this note to our birds , if you have already finished your lives . I wish that you will be happy in heaven 😔 you have always been in our hearts and you will now also from heaven except. And we miss you😢😔
Few easy ways to identify them is look closely at their cheek patch feather if it's bright orange it's a boy and if dull orange than girl, most obvious one would be just whistle near your bird if it tries to replicate the vocal tune by you it's a boy, the girls are not that vocal, they are pretty quiet. The other methods posted by others are good also but it would more likely freak your bird out, if you haven't bonded with it yet and cause it to hate you.
My Cockateil has markings on its tail and its has kind of faded cheeks. It also screams only when I leave the room. the owner says it's a male, idk but could it be a female by any chance??? Edit: never mind, young cockateils look like a female. So for now we dont know
Whistle next time if you are near it, if it replicates your tune than definitely a boy and if it stays quiet but screams when you leave the room than a girl who needs serious attention from her mom.
Hello! Probably one in a million change of you seeing this but I have a question, is it bad to clip a birds wings? I am getting a bird and I don’t want to hurt it.
It won't hurt them, depends on which option has more pros for you and your bird. If you do, which I recommend in most cases, don't cut too much off. Clipping too many feathers too short may harm your bird as it falls on the ground and fails to land safely. Also clipped wings don't mean you can't loose the bird in some circumstances. Look up the pros and cons and look at examples of badly-cut parrot wings, so you can avoid it. Find a good vet! :)
@@detyvitanova749 Thank you! I have actually look more into the household I am keeping my bird and decided that It would be better if I didn’t clip my birds wings. I have a English bulldog and if it tries to attack my bird I wand it to be able to fly to safety 🙂
At last! Thank you! I finally found a way of telling which is which! I have recently been bought 2 lovely cockatiels and I'm still learning. I was told which was which but I'm positive it's the other way around. This video has confirmed my way of thinking. May I ask you is it just time when it comes to my birds standing on my hands and coming out of the cage? I'm interacting with them several times a day. I've had them for a week. Also how do I get them to eat fruit and veg. They just won't touch anything other than seeds or millet. I've also tried other foods but they won't eat anything, just the seed mix. Thank you in advance! 😁
Hi! This video can help you to teach your bird to eat fruits and vegetables: ua-cam.com/video/ZhkmBa9yICo/v-deo.html By the way, you can get them out of the cage now. The only problem will be how to get them back inside, but sometimes when they're hungry they go inside by themselves ^^ For more cockatiel information search the internet. You can also watch budgie videos as they're very similar to them
Thank you so much for your help. I want to make their lives as happy and healthy as possible. I didn't want to do anything that would scare them! Thanks again 👍😁
Same. Mine displays many of the males Behavior but has the females tail markings. I’d be really disappointed if he turns out to be a girl though. I was hoping for a guy. 😭
@@justnd0257 both genders are equally nice and lovely! cockatiels are such wonderful pets i don’t think u should be disappointed when you already like your tiel :(((
@@justnd0257 also yours could be a baby tiel i had one that i thought was a female for the longest time because i was naive back then. he started molting and thats when i saw his new feathers and realized 🧍🏻♀️ i was confused lol
Interesting video!! :) There's also a Cockatiel Gender Identification on youtube. It shows that female cockatiel have yellow spot (the yellow feathered)/white spot (the white feathered) depending on the type, underneath the feathers when you spread it out. Whereas the male dont. applicable for 8 months onwards. But most accurate should still be the DNA testing to determine the gender
hey! im in a bit of a pickle here - i am looking for a cockatiel and i want one that is generally quiet, but can sing songs and stuff. Should i get a female or male? do the males sing but then also get really loud and annoying? or are the females really loud and can't sing? pls help me out! Have a nice day~!
You make me doubt because at the pet store they said my cockatiel was male but he does have markings on the tail, slighty orange cheeks and never saw doing the thing... it's been 3 weeks since I adopted him but he might be a she 😧
@@sazzadahmed3528 I don't care for the gender really but since males are more vocal, mine is very very vocal but does not sing (yet?) I wanted a male just for that. I hope he's a male because I plan on getting a second one later, I don't want them to make babies loooool
the people at the pet store have so many birds they probably just glanced at the cockatiel you were getting and told u it was a male not sure though because when i got my second budgie they said it was a male when it was a female
Hi I am your new subscriber I need your suggestion I am interested to buy a cocktile so colour need to be purchased what are the things need to keep in mind before purchase plases guide me
My cockatiel is female and she has vivid, bright orange circles on her face, completely clear yellow feathers all over, is very vocal and does do that rubbing...and has laid eggs before. Your signs are incorrect:)
If a cockatiel is showing signs of being hormonal, that means there is things that are triggering that. It's a good idea to find those things and stop it before it gets out of hand, a hormonal bird can get angry and start attacking people. It also causes other problems but research should be done because it gets out of hand.
The colour in the cheeks are not as accurate , i have my lutino and is a she and she is having strong red, , the only thing that can help you more is the posture of the wings and the sounds. A male cockatiel is making sounds already at 2 months old..
I had one male and one female cockatiel.. But the female passed away... I don't know what happend to her suddenly :(..I even gained her trust.. My male cockatiel trusts me but not that much
Well I found out mine is male when he started practicing "Struggle Snuggle" with plush toys at the "horny" season. I also had male budgie that would practice it on people's heads

Soooo my bird is actually a girl!? Ima get dna test those people said he was a male Edit: found out my bird a girl but ima keep her name the same her name is baba lol
Maybe it is not feeling well or it is bored or you might not be letting the bird out of the cage so much or it just feels lonely or the cage is so small that it barely can do some actions if the bird is ill take an online vet. Hopefully this will help your little fur ball to be active (you're bird )
Doesnt help much, kinda back n fourth. Both genders rub their vents. Also them talking and making noises really determines on the bird. Like every self aware being, they have different personalities.

Um but how do you tell the difference of gender between budgies.

Please make a video on 4 ways to determine your budgies gender easily
I already made it
You made me remember my bird tiki he or she died
My budgie has light cheeks, chirps ALOT, and has nothing on its tail
Trance gender???😂😂
The first one is not always true I have a male that is slight orange and a female that is dark red
I said "depends on their mutation"
I am going to bye a cockatie . Which should I bye. Male or female?
The colour in the cheeks are not as accurate , i have my lutino and is a she and she is having strong red, , the only thing that can help you more is the posture of the wings and the sounds. A male cockatiel is making sounds already at 2 months old..
Apart from gender.. which one is better to have as a pet..
Male / female...
If you want a cockatiel that sings and talks, get a male. Some female can sing but it's uncommon, so a gamble, but they are quieter.
My bird has bright orange cheeks but also has marking oh his/her tail. I need help.
I don't have a cockatiel but i have tamed budgies.
Is it possible for a YOUNG male to have markings under his tail or only females always?
I think it is possible
It is kind of tricky to find out the gender of this beauties.
I love them both❤🐦🐦
I had a female who was very vocal & she rubbed her vent on EVERYTHING!!! Even her male partner! 😂🤣
I had one male and one female cockatiel.. But the female passed away... I don't know what happend to her suddenly :(..I even gained her trust.. My male cockatiel trusts me but not that much
