Is My Parakeet a Boy or Girl?

KobeBird · Apr 10, 2020

I'm a new parakeet owner, and though I know it's 2020 and should let the bird tell ME what gender he/she is instead of the other way around, I was hoping some of you in here would be able to help me out.

I was told when I purchased "her" that "she" was a girl. Now, looking at her, the things I've read online indicates "she" may in fact be a "he".

I purchased her at the very end of January.

Thank you, Rozalka. For my own understanding and knowledge, what makes you say that?

for less than a small pizza you can be certain.

I'm not affiliated, but I used them, they can test feather or blood or basically anything with DNA

My vet said look up Florida parrot dna testing, that it would be way cheaper than they would charge....pick any company you want on the googles....it's so cheap, cheaper than a big bag of bird seed.

Worked for me.
