Hi all. No, that is not true. Actually, to tell the sex of a parakeet, you must look at the cere (area around the nostris). If the cere is blue, the bird is male and if the cere is white, tan, or brown, the bird is female. As for telling the age of the bird, i'm not sure, but usually you can't tell unless you know when they were born.
