Eye color has little to no impact on gender. It is theorized that females may have lighter colors but as far as I am aware there's no 100% to it. As far as I am aware with majority of birds there's no way to 100% sex them based on visual unless they're eclectus or have a sex based color mutation (pearling in cockatiels for example or even a standard grey cockatiel)

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Not sure about SC2, but lighter eye color in many cockatoo species is indicative of female status.

I had Leo sexed by Animal Genetics | Genetic Testing Services and had the results in 3 days (and right after Christmas too!). You can send in a blood sample for only 19.50. I really liked them.
