While are young cockatiels the male and female look the same way and it is difficult to decipher their sex until they have undergone their first molt about six to nine months old. Only then will the adult coloring show.
Normal gray parrots are easy to sex once the adult plumage is through. You will notice that the color is defined with the man who has a bright yellow face, while the female has a gray face with traces of pale yellow. The male's body is dark gray, but it seems that the female is duller, with almost a brown tint to gray. In addition, until their first moult both sexes restriction patterns at the bottom of its tail feathers. After the moult the feathers of the male's tail is gray solid, without restriction, but she will still modeling.
This is easily applied to the normal gray parrots, but other color varieties such as albino, cinnamon, lutino, pearls and pieds are more difficult to sex.

• Males have a great vocal ability and a long whistle
• Females are generally quite calm
• Males whistle and call, while females tend to scream
• Females are often more prone to hiss and bite
• In your case, males have slightly darker colors or brighter spots on the face and orange cheek
• Any sign of restriction, marks or stains on the underside of the tail feathers or wings when spread indicates a female (you may need to keep your cockatiel to bright light to see any brand)
• Males tend to show off - slightly raised wings, stick your chest out and parade and strut, calling at
at the same time
• Place a mirror in front of your cockatoo. How do you react?
Normally, male will be fascinated and the mirror must keep their attention for quite some time while he performs in front of it. Female tends to lose interest quickly.
