It is a male, judging by the color of head and and nonexistent stripes on the bottom side of the tail. Trust me, he's a male. Which is good:) males are known to be more eager to learn and more active! He's Beautiful by the way!

@MesaKay7 Why Thank you! Im not so sure because it is said that male cockatiels whistle and talk, and Pebbles is a year old now, still hasn't said anything. But I hear weird chirps once in awhile, like bird murmuring?

every teil has a mowhawk. anyways, if they have spots then they are female, no spots male. i have a female. :)

@destined2Bfamous1 Thank you! Pebbles is now 12 months old, and I see spots under its wings, and lines under the tail. So this must mean that my birdie's a female! :]

@Dennalilly You are wrong , I have many Tiels of both genders. I foster parrots and know my stuff I assure you. My females have never laid eggs, and they are well over 2 years. Not all females are excessive egg layers, only some. So if your female doesent lay , it does NOT mean its a male. && For this female tiel you can clearly see the bars decorating her tail. I dont mean to be rude , just helping out .

@IT0KATE If she's 18 months old now, I'm pretty sure she should be laying eggs. If she isn't, she is a male.

@destined2Bfamous1 And it's not a 'mohawk'; it's called a crest.

@destined2Bfamous1 Wrong. Having spots just means that your cockie's mutation is pearled. A regular gray female lacks the bright yellow head and bright orange cheek of the male; they are still the same colors, but they are more muted. A female will also have horizontal bars visible on the undersides of her tail feathers. Your cockatiel is lutino from the shoulders up but pearled otherwise... it's difficult to tell. If she lays eggs, then she's female. Males also talk more.
