I do not know but congratulations on such a cutie

Thank you very much. Girl from store said is a boy, also looking at the head colours looks like one, but looking at the tail i'm not very sure.

Wait till it is a little older to make up your mind I believe the head is what makes the difference not the tails @Zara

I think he's too young to tell at this point. I male Pearl will loose his spots and a female with keep them, after the first molt. He's very cute.

This is true in regards to males losing their pearls and females keeping them. I'm currently fostering two pearl cockatiels, one male, one female. The male appears to be a normal grey. Someone I know used to breed just standard normal greys and will swear up and down that he's a normal grey! But he has all the markings of an adult, male pearl! I also had a normal grey that was split pearl! There is a clear difference between them, when you know what to look for!

I'm leaning towards a Rocky myself, but time would tell for sure! Or based on behaviors! (maybe!)

I think boy but if you want to know for sure I used this company. Pay $14, pull a few downy feathers, pop in mail, and in around 3 weeks you will have the answer for sure.

I would recommend swapping out one of those food containers for pellets, another for fresh foods and sprouts! Much healthier that way!

And, when you get a chance, fill the cage with toys! Especially toys that he (or she) can easily chew up!
