What species of lorikeet is it? Most parrots are not sexually dimorphic meaning they can’t be sexed visually .
Also a picture would help 😊

You can always chose a gender neutral name.

I just looked up pictures and it appears to be a beautiful Red-collared Lorikeet! It has a orangy band around the nape of its neck and that's the identifying feature according to the internet. Genders look the same.

According to Wikipedia, it feeds on the flowers of the Darwin woolybutt! I hope that's not all they eat!

Looks like you have a red-collared lorikeet there. Unfortunately it's not possible to tell the difference between genders visually, so you will need to have it done by a vet via a blood test. That's how mine have always been done
