hi guys! So I bought this beautiful cockatiel a few days ago and I was told that he/she was boy but I’m really not sure because Google has messed with my head haha. He/she has super bright cheeks but also has markings on his/her tail. can anyone help with this mystery haha. I’m unsure whether or not he/she is still molting their feathers and I’m not even sure how old he/she is. He/she is still getting used to their environment so hasn’t really made a sound yet but they’re always wanting to be near the side of the cage where we are or will be when we go back to the cage to relax (the cage is in our bedroom). They have made a few beep sounds when we come into the room but other than that we’re still waiting. Also i watched a video the other night that had some random bird sounds in it and they responded to it pretty loud but again only in beeps. I’m so confused!!!

Thank you so much for replying!! I’ll take some photos later on tonight and post them in the chat for you as he/she mostly likes to stare at us through the cage and doesn’t really like to show their back haha. But I’ll try to get that photo for you. I’m hoping they’re a boy just because I’ve heard their ability to mimic sounds is a lot better than a females and I love bird sounds. I already have a little budgie who takes up a lot of noise in the room haha. Your birds are absolutely beautiful by the way 😍
