That's it then he is deff male. He only talks to me and the kids tho and doesn't like O.H for some reason. Wonder why? His favourite word at the moment is "Hello" and it sounds so clear. lovely.

But over all that, it is only the male that will mimic talk and sound.

Did anyone see the scene in 'Carry On Camping ' where i think it was a minor bird said something very naughty?? well my middle child is trying to teach him that, can't wait to see if he says it. it would be hilarious.

Ahh i think he's Male then, he is very bright red and blue and i forgot to mention that he does wolf whistle at me all the time --- blushes--- Will try the web site Kitty. Love the first reply cmd !!! honestly tho i will have a real good look at him tonight to make sure xxxx thanks everyone xxxxxxxx

Thats it then kitty, I have that every morning! and I'me female...lol

Generally the male in the animal and bird and insect world is much stronger in colour, Rosella would be strong with reds and blue tips and the female I think is paler with greyish green feathers.

This says the females have a greenish tinge to the upperside of their middle tail feathers...................any help?

LOL

Budgies have a different coloured bit above their beaks to mark males and females.

Some parrots have to be seen by a vet to tell the difference.................something to do with a probe!

Soooooo glad I'm not a parrot! lol

have u tried showing it pictures of other parrots...some with feathers and some without....and seeing the reaction....?

pmsl CMD,
Teresa , why dont you put another parrot in with "it" and sit back and watch?lol

I think you're right cmds I know when I'm as sick as a parrot, and I keep talking, my cheeks go red, and I'm a male..... lol john

I think its somethiong to do with their cheeks, or is that budgies??? the redder or more colourful, then its a male.
trying to make amends..........

Hi everyone, after inheriting a beautiful Rosella Parrot a few years ago it has suddenly dawned on me that i don't know if its male or female, how do i tell??? He has been in an aviary with the other budgies but we have recently moved house, given all the budgies away and kept the parrot. He has really started to "talk" now and loves it if you chat to him. Thanks x
