Post: purple cere with whitish color, male or female?

Posted by Elaine on 12/03/05

I adopted this keet and am trying to find out if it is
male or female. I don't want to take it to a vet yet,
it's still very shy. It's about a year old. Yellow with
black markings. Cere is a gray-purple with a whitish hue
in the middle. Definitely not pink and definitely not
blue. I've read several books about parakeets and they
all contradict each other. Can anyone tell me if male or
female? Once it's tame, I'd like to get it a friend but
don't want baby keets! Thank you for helping!
