Can someone please confirm with us possibly the sex of this one??
Sorry we didn't get any back end pics...

By looking at the picture it look like male by blue around it head,were the female has less arond the head.

Cheer from Mr Tino

Its a Female.Its mask is to small to be a cock.

looks like a male

I was told that the blue goes back past the eye in a cock and the blue is a lot brighter, based on the pairs I have here I would say its a cock.

At that stage,i will say hen but how old is it as it is still breaking pin feathers around the face. Craig

Hen

Its either a bright hen or dull cock. Sorry for the ambiguity. With these guys, I go by the brightness & length of the tail & brightness of the green body as well as the head. The head colour is the most variable feature & difficult to use as a sole sexing technique unless you are looking at a very poorly coloured hen or brightly coloured cock.

Thanks guys. He/she is in a holding flight cage at the moment, so will try and get a photo of a bit more later. It's in with another couple of birds, haven't heard it calling or anything like that yet..

I was hoping I could find some of their calls online to play and hope we get something out of it (if it is a boy!) lol

Here is a tail end pic I managed to get I don't know if the flash just makes it seem brighter, as when you look at it in normal light i would say the face is rather dull :/
