Cockatiels

Recently adopted these 2 from a girl and i was wondering if anyone could tell me if they are girls i think they are but not sure to name them correctly they didnt have a name 😔

Are they under 6 months? If so, they wouldn't have had their first molt yet. I ask because the darker one has a rough 'baby tail' . You can only visually sex cockatiels once they've had their first molt.

Do you have any pics of them with their wings open? The lighter one is female based on the barring on the tail, but I can't see the underside of the darker birds tail in those pics.

Okay those both look like females due to the white spots.

I am not so sure they are female.
the white spots do indicate a pearl mutation and that generally means females but.
The light colored head makes me think male.

If they sing and whistle I think it’s a better indicator of gender. My girls just squeak and chirp, no real whistling or singing, not compared to the boys.

Just my opinion. ADNA test is a sure thing.
