how do you know a boy from a girl cockatiel
well i have two orange cheek cockatiel
Answers:Look at the color of their faces. If the bird is grey and has orange cheeks, but no yellow on the face it is most likely female. If it is grey with a yellow head and really bright (I mean really bright) orange cheeks, you most likely have a boy. This can also apply to Lutinos or the yellow/white variety. But mutations are harder to sex. Usually cockatiels are easily sexed, making them one of the few species that are sexually dimorphic (you can easily tell by looking at them).
You can also if they will let you gently cup them in your hand and flip them over. If you feel a concave or hollow dip in their under belly, between the belly and their vent (butt) where there seems to be a gap between the bone structure of their pelvis, you have a female. If you don't feel a dip area and feel a narrower bone structure you have a boy.
If this makes you feel dirty or your birds are not tame enough for you to handle take pics of them and ask someone at a pet store who specializes in birds, or take them to a vet.
Don't worry palpating them doesn't make you a "perve", just an owner who cares.
Good luck, email me if you want to send pics I will try my best to tell them apart.

the Boy's prefer Scotch with little ice, the Girls like a Bailey's with lots of ice.
Only they know.
The boys will talk to you and the girls will talk about you.
One's got a billy, one's got a peggy. That's what I was always told.
I've wondered about this too. I've always taken the word of the man who sold ours to my husband that he is in fact male.
