Hey Lumpy! Looks like the first 3pics are the same bird, looks to be a boy...has he had any molts that you know of? Try for that info from previous owner.
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!!!

Hey Lumpy! Looks like a young male. Molts will tell.(1st 3 pics) No barbs in the tale. Next 2 pics, still probably a male,but a little older.Try for more info from former owner. The females usually(always in my experience) don't make noises other than peeps, and what they call family noises. If they're males, the more you handle them AND talk to them,the quicker you'll find out! ENJOY! I have an older,non-mating pair,it took awhile for them to like me,but now they love me! Head scratches ROCK! Also, I have a male that is still less than a year, whistles, is learning LOVE YOU and gimme a kiss.The older male whistles too,and is trying out the same stuff.Keep it simple!(unlike this reply
