Hey guys, new here. I used to have a cockatiel when I was 13, then about two years ago when I was 16 my grandma accidentally left the doors open in the house when she was getting rid of things, and unfortunately he flew outside. Best bird in the entire world. His name was Zander and I had him since he was only a few months old.
We assumed he was a male since he was bright colors and loved to talk and sing. A good while after he flew away, my mom took in a bird from a friend that was allergic to her and gave her to me as a gift. Her name is Gracie, and she (so we assume) is about 10 years old. Her previous owner said she's always been allergic to them but loved her too much to find her a new home, but it was getting unbearable.
To my point, I'm thinking of getting a new cockatiel as I enjoy everything about them. Gracie is a coocoo head but turns into a cuddle monster once she's running around the room. I want to make to get another female if Gracie truly is a female. I know her owner had her for 10 years but I want to be on the safe side and not have unexpected babies
Can anyone tell me if she's a female? I know you can get blood tests but I haven't worked my way on that path yet lol. Gracie loves to sing, and says such a pretty bird and whatnot. In the mornings her whistling is at it's peak. She does knock on her perches and anything else randomly through out the day and enjoys when she hears someone knock on the wall back.
Any help would be grateful! Sorry for the earful
