Cockatiel

Hi there

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if my cockatiel is a male or female? She acts like a male, and a few people i know said she looks like a male but the shop sold her to me as a hen so im not sure..

Re: Cockatiel

Not a good pic to tell the difference really. By the shape of it i would say male.
Does it have any stripy feathers on the underneith its tail

Re: Cockatiel

I would say it was a male by the photo in the albums.

Re: Cockatiel

Difficult to tell from a pic but the crest shape suggests that it is male.
