How can I tell if my parakeet is male or female?

Answer

Luckily for us, most parakeets come color-coded. The boys usually have ceres (the patches of skin over their beaks) that are blue, and girls generally have pink or white ceres. There are some exceptions, but the rule is usually very reliable. If your parakeet doesn’t fit the pattern, your veterinarian can do a gender check for you.
