I am no expert, but do know if it is a male a ring should appear around the neck. ;)

This ring can start to appear around 17 months and can take as long as two molts to come in dark, bright, and thick. If you wish to sex your parrot before 17 months without DNA sexing, and before the ring has come, you can do so by the behavior of your parrot. A male ringneck will open his wings slightly in the shape of a heart and bow. His eyes will pin (the pupil will get small) as he does this little display. Try placing your ringneck in front of a mirror and see if it displays.

Yeah the males have a nice black ring around there necks where as the females don't as Antoinette said the ring should start to show around 17 months and after about two molts it will be bright black but if you don't want to wait until then there is always DNA sexing the bird

Hi yes I have a 4 mth old sexed ringneck Buster. Antoinettes right about the display, males do that, they also have a slightly larger beak than the female and their feet are also more stocky, hope it helped
