So I got my self a lovely young whiteface male a few months back and was in the market for a female for him. Came across a beautiful bird that was listed as female. So I bought her and brought her home.
Now I've had these birds for a couple of months now so they'd be around 10 or 11 months old. I'm starting to think that she may be a he. These two are aviary birds but I have 2 females indoors as tame birds. Both are quite a bit stockier than the female outside. She has the same build as the male.
I'm probably wrong but the other thing that makes me question is total lack of interest in the nest box. Even though it's off season here my bourkes, turks and budgie hens are still in and out of their boxes. Not my cockatiel.
Here are some pics. Still too young to tell for certain but I'd like to hear others opinions.(Apologies for the quality)
