Hey everyone! I have a parrotlet named Kiwi who I was told was a female at the pet store but I think she may be a male! Kiwi has some light blue behind her eye and on her wing and has a very dark blue above her tail. I have a have another parrotlet that is a confirmed female who has laid some eggs and I would love to know if they could be fertile!! Here are some photos of kiwi!!

The wing edge is the determining factor. If the end of the wing is blue, then you have a boy. Otherwise, some girls have the blue in the places you see. I didn't see any blue on the wing to indicate a boy.

Yup, I do not see any blue on the wings. It looks like you have an adorable female! Love those greenies! 💚

For most parrotlets, such as the greens and the blues, and under wing lead tends to be a bright blue. So if you get us a picture of an under wing spread out photo we can be more certain.
Still I am pretty sure that you got a little green girl there.

Both birds look adorable. Love the pictures but we usually do here.
