hi all,
does anyone know how to sex a brouke? do they have any tell tales signs like a budgie, or do they need to be dna tested like other parrots?

Male is more colourful than the dull female.

In normal Bourkes the male has a row of blue feathers above his nostrils.
Rosa Bourkes the male tends to have a bigger area of cinnamon in his cheeks.
Creams & Pinks well, you really need to judge by behaviour although the female is generally a little smaller than the male & the head is rounder in a female.

Hi
The Bourke's Parakeets (Neopsephotus Bourkii) are endangered in their own homeland of Southwestern and Central Australia, but are popular in aviculture. They are readily available in the United States and relatively inexpensive.
The Bourke's parrot has recently been removed from the Neophema genus and placed in a genus of its own. Some discussions about this change are still on-going.
Thanks
