woops!! I believe I've put this post in the wrong place, I'm so sorry about this!
Can anyone tell me the sex of my parakeets? I'm having a little trouble with the sex of one of my birds. I have two of them, one green with a little yellow, and the other is white with just a few specks of blue on it's wing tips. I've always heard the females have a peanut butter colored or fleshy to pink colored area just above their beaks, and the males are blue to dark blue or purple color above their beaks. I know the green one is a female because her color looks like dried peanut butter. But the white one has a very light pink color nearest to her beak and it turns into light purple and then blue just around the edges up above. her's looks like soft velvet compared to the other one's dried look.
I've always thought they were both girls, until a friend told me the white may be male. They have been together for years now and all they do is fight. I've even had to get them an extra large cage, 3ft by 2ft, to prevent their fights, but it hasnt helped any. The green bird screeches all the time, while the sweet white bird sings and sings, seems even when it's asleep.
Thanks for any help with this!
