The easiest way to pick the difference in gender from male and female cockatiels, once they have moulted into their adult plumage that is, is to have a look at the underside of their tail feathers. In males, the underside will show a solid colour, whereas females will still show that rippling colour effect in their adult plumage. Cockatiels generally moult into adult plumage anywhere between 6 and 12 months of age, so you need to bear that in mind, because up until that stage it will be difficult to tell them apart. Provided your bird definitely has it's adult plumage, just have a look at the underside of those tail feathers and it should be a pretty easy matter to tell male from femaleHey guyshope you have a good day!
