Instructions
Hold your conure on his or her back and carefully feel the pelvic bone. A female conure has a very wide pelvic bone while a male conure has a narrow pelvic bone. This is so the female has room in her body to carry eggs. While this method can be helpful, "wide" and "narrow" are subjective, so it is not always reliable.
Check the color of your conure's eyes. It's common for males to have black eyes and females to have red eyes. However, this method is also not 100% reliable.
Take your conure to a veterinarian to have it genetically tested. This is done by taking a small DNA sample through blood or feathers and having it tested. This method of sexing is 100% reliable.
How Can I Identify a Conure As Male or Female?
Conure is the name for a variety of birds that range from small parrots to large parakeets. Their playfulness and intelligence makes them a very popular choice for a pet. A conure's intelligence makes it easy to train him to do tricks, including speaking. At first glance, male and female conures look the same and it is difficult to determine sex. There are a few methods that can be tried at home, but only a veterinarian can give you a definite answer. Determining sex is important for breeding purposes.
