Mustached Parakeet - Boy or Girl

[cmarie1125]

Hello out there. Can anyone tell me how to tell if my mustached parakeet is a boy or girl?

It's very hard, if not impossible to tell without DNA sexing.

If I'm not mistaken the males have orange colored beaks, the females are black, however if the bird is still a juvinile it will be very difficult to tell....

From some online research I did...
When the mustached parakeets are born they all have an orange beak,
When they turn to be 8 weeks old they all change to black...
Then after 8-9 months, sometimes earlier, the male would change his beak color back to orange and the female would stay black colored beak.
I just got 3 of this kind and they are awesome.
Good luck with yours
