It depends on what sort of parakeet. There are many different types of parakeets and therefore different ways of telling the sex of it. In budgerigars (one type of parakeet) the males have a blue cere (bit above the beak) and females have a brown cere.

there is a way but its very hard to tell however it can be done- hold the bird tightly but gently in your hand -with your other hand on the underneath of its belly follow down a straight line-u will feel boney part. now start at the tail and u will feel a v alittle above the tail feathers. if u can fit ur pinky between the open part of the v its said to be a female. it the bones are so close together u cant fit your pinky tip between them its a male. also u can send away for a free DNA kit where u use a very small amount of blood <they tell u to clip a nail just to get a pin drop of blood>and send it back for a fee of 39.99 each bird (i think that's how much it is).

There are many different mutations of budgies and so you would need to know the mutation of the particular budgie you were going to sex. For example, albino cocks do not develop blue ceres, but pink ones. All budgies are born with pink to whitish ceres. Hens have brown or beige crusty ceres when they are in breeding condition. When they are not in breeding condition though it is completely normal for a hen to have a blue or white cere. So, as you can see it can take time and experience to be able to successfully sex a budgie (or parakeet).

If you look right above the beak on the nose, it will be either one of two colors. Blue or brown. If it is brown, it is a female, or if it is blue, it is a male.

Males have a purple to dark blue colored cere (nose) and females have a white to light pink to brown (when ready to breed) cere.
