Pictures Who's who?

[JLcribber]

They look totally different from each other. I can tell with my eyes closed.

 

[Sparkles99]

Okay, I’ll bite. I guess the left one (one who’s more hidden by a perch) is Tika & the right one (my right; more exposed in this photo) is Amanda.

 

[Sparkles!]

Right one has to be Amanda. Right?

 

[Clueless]

The nice one is on the left and the one on the right can get you?

 

[Tanya]

Lol! My guess is Amanda on the left. Tika gonna eat your face if you get closer on the right.

 

[Nnbal]

I can't distinguish them
But one thing is for sure, they are very cute.

Amanda on the left (behind the perches) and Tika on the right. There's just something about him that suggests he'll eat your face.

John, will you please answer the riddle? (I asked how you distinguish between them long ago... And I am still clueless)

 

[JLcribber]

Amanda is on the left. Tika is on the right.

If you were the mother of identical twins you would easily tell them apart because you "know" them. Many little things. Physical emotional energy.

So my method failed. I thought the one looking at their friend would be the male & the one focused on the human would be the female. Good thing I don’t have cockatoos!

 

[Clueless]

Good thing I don’t have cockatoos!

I think this every time I read about one dismantling his cage..... despite the lovely Elvis stories from @sunnysmom

They're so pretty! Tika has a bigger beak, doesn't he?

Bigger everything. Amanda is around 650gm. Tika is around 950gms.

 

[scrape]

That was my guess! I think the males are bigger, and Tika definitely looks bigger than Amanda. If they weren't standing side-by-side it would be harder. Amanda has beautiful doe eyes in that photo!

That was my guess too. Solely based on size.

LOL. I have another story from today. I wasn't going to post it but maybe I will....

As the mother of identical twins, I agree. Your twins are almost as cute as mine

 

[Shezbug]

Their eyes and cheek feathers are quite different.

It was in the eyes. Amanda is fully chill and happy to hang out. Tika is calm but keeping an eye on the cameraman with a hint of warning in him. Hard to describe. It's a cockatoo thing I guess?

If Tika was wild in a Flock he would have been the leading sentinel of the group. Absolutely nothing gets past those big black eyes. Lol
