is my 28 parrot a boy or a girl?

Question
i am the owner of an australian 28 parrot and was wondering if you are able to tell me of any features that will allow me to distinguish between male and female 28's

Answer
Hi,

I am not familiar with the "28 parrots," so I looked up some information, and this is what I found:

"In the Twenty-eight parrot, the sexes are alike in body colouration. It is a large bird, being approximately 40cm in length, of which 20cm is tail. The male however, is slightly larger than the female and has a broader head. Its head is dull black; lower ear coverts violet blue; it has a narrow yellow collar around the nape; the back and wings are bright green; the outer webs of the primary feathers are dark blue; the throat and breast are dark green; the belly is green; the underwing coverts are blue; the eye is brown; bill is pale grey; legs and feet are grey.  Both sexes have a red   frontal band across the top of the bill, as do the wheatbelt hybrids. The wheatbelt or yellow-fronted Twenty-eights as they are often called have the same colourings and markings, except the belly is yellow grading to a pale green towards the vent.

Immatures of both the Twenty-eight and the wheatbelt hybrid are duller than the adults with a brown hue about the head. The Twenty-eight has a tri-syllabic call, sounding like 'twenty-eight', as the last note is higher in pitch than the first two. This call has given rise to their common name."

For more information, you can see the website I got this information from here: http://www.birdkeepinginaustralia.com/articles/article22.html

I hope this helps.
