Hi all! We have a green young parrotlet who was easy to sex as a male but we have just brought home a mauve baby who is 3 and half months old but was wondering how you tell if they are male or female? The breeder said as he/she gets older we would be able to tell on how dark or light they get. Not sure if this true. Any advice would be great!
Thanks!

How exciting! Do you have any pictures you can share?

I have never seen a mauve colored Parrotlet.

Here you go! Still working on a name!
Just so sweet! I cannot tell you how to sex that mutation color. I can only really see the colors of the pieds, greens etc with the blue eye streak.

Hi, baby is beautiful! :heart: Check out talkparrotlets.com. Maybe someone there can help you as I remember seeing one with that colouring. Someone there or here should be able to help...
