As long as your parakeet is older than 6 weeks you will be able to tell the gender of your parakeet by looking at the little ridge of skin above the beak. If the skin is darker (dark purple, blue, etc.) the parakeet is a male. If the skin is lighter (a lavander or white color, etc.), the parakeet is female.
1 measure your parrot if its a male he will be in between 12 and 14 inches long
2 the male will have a flatter broader head wheras the female's is rounder and smaller
3 the body: step away from the parrot and if it is more rotund, its male, more sleek, female
4 the underside of the tail. Male: solid red Female: has silver tips
5 underside of wing Male: dark grey Female: light grey

The Cere of a parakeet is the "bump" above her beak - and is in essence her nose. There are two holes in it that she breathes through. The cere lets a parakeet breathe and smell.
When parakeets are babies the ceres are often just blue. As parakeets age the ceres usually mature to certain colors based on their sex. Female parakeets develop brown or pink ceres. Male parakeets develop blue ceres. Of course, there are many ceres that are in-between colors. The only real way to know the sex of a parakeet is to take it to your vet and ask!

A female parakeet has blue-tipped wings and a male parakeet has red-tipped wings.
It is difficult to impossible to tell the sex of a parakeet. Many pet owners only find out the sex of their birds when they mate.
You have to get them sex tested. Ask your vet about sex testing; for our Quakers we had to get their blood drawn. They sedated them and took blood out of their jugular.
I had the same question. I learnt that the only way to tell is to have a DNA test on the bird.

Why does your quaker parrot hold his head?
If you're talking about an action in which the Quaker Parrot puts it's foot on it's head and holds it there, I can relate with my bird. My Quaker Parrot 'holds' his head with his foot while he's relaxed and preening. I think this behavior is simply him enjoying scratching himself with his claws. He clenches his toes in and out in a scratching manner while looking very pleased. He'll sometimes let me scratch him with my fingernail, too.
