It is so hard to tell! When we got Roger, he had all the signs of being a boy, and for sure, he is! When we got Milly, she was called "Willy" and they swore "she" was a male. Well, we know for sure that she is no male Cockatiel, since she lays eggs and we hatched 3!!!

The babies were a bit tougher and we don't know for sure, but one way to tell is by their tail feathers. The females tend to have "bars" on their tail feathers (the underside). When I took my babies to the vet, he thought that two of the three were females, for sure. Those are the two that found a new home last week. Their "cheeks" were definitely more dull than their brother, Bennie, and he looks exactly like his dad, Roger, which pretty much tells me that he is definitely a boy. Without DNA testing, I guess you don't ever really know until there are eggs and babies like we got!
