Other then the obvious sign which is egg laying the only way to be 100 percent sure is to dna test a feather it is painless and relatively cheap.

Reply:DNA testing of a drop of blood from a clipped toe nail is the only sure way to sex a bird.





Eclectus birds show the sex by color of thier feathers.


Red are female and green are males.





Cockatoo%26#039;s eye color shows sex when adults.


Males have black eyes and females eye%26#039;s are brown, or reddish brown. Still, to be certain a DNA test is advised to be certain.
Reply:You can%26#039;t tell the gender of a Peach face lovebird without the bird laying an egg, having it surgically sexed, or getting a DNA test. Peachfaces of either sex can be very brightly colored, the color of their beaks is not an indicator of gender at all either. Even behaviors (shredding and tucking papers, etc) can be unreliable as both genders have been known to do all sorts of behaviors that are generally attributed to one sex or the other.





Laying the egg can happen within the birds first year or it could go 10 years before it suddenly decides to lay it%26#039;s first egg. So that%26#039;s not always a great way.





Surgical sexing is basically what it sounds like. A vet does a surgical procedure to tell if the bird is male or female. Rather expensive, and obviously invasive.





DNA testing is by far the best way to go. It%26#039;s very cheap ($20-25), and easy to do yourself. You can clip a nail a little short for a few drops of blood on a test card, or simply pluck 5-6 chest feathers and send those in to be tested. In just a few days you have the results.
