You 2 make a cute pair. :)
But your mommy and daddy may want to call you both 'He'.
BeeBee your cere is such a pretty pale blue which most likely means you are a little boy (females have brown/peach cere's).
Phoebe.. what a handsome boy you appear to be. That beak thumping you do is mainly a male behavior - gotta show off for those beautiful hens somehow :D And males tend to be much more vocal than the hens (although there are a few exceptions... My PeeWee is a proven hen (has laid eggs) but she can wolf whistle just as good as the males)). Your solid white head is also an indicator of being a little male. Females tend to have a duller white or yellow (more greyish with hint of yellow or white).
My flock consist of 14 cockatiels (8 female, 6 males), 1 Quaker (male), and 1 Budgie (female)
Best of Luck to you two. Keep your human slaves wrapped around your little talons. :D
