jen's right. If the bird is older, you can feel between the
pelvis bone very gently as it is easy to break. If there's egg
passing space, then odds are its a female. If the pevis bones
are right next to each other with no opening between them,
odds are its a male. Another way to tell is by the way they
stand. When perching, the female's legs will be spread apart
more than a male. Remember that these are only on older birds.
DNA testing is always the best way and it's not expensive.
