the birdhouse is 24in high and17in wide, i love sweetie but I was really hoping it would be a girl;is there anyway to tell what sex a baby keet will be?

is sweetie a baby or is she over 6 montsh old. that is does sh have stripes or no, i thought I read somewhere that you said she was a year old. Can you describe her coloring to me if she has any blotches at all (all white with a blue tummy blotch, all gellow with a green tummy blotch, all blue with a white tummy blotch or all green with a yellow tummy blotch to name a few possibilities) she's pied which means if shes a hen her cere will be tan, if she's a cock her cere will be purple...
you really should not house 3 keets in a cage that small, its ok for two but for three i would go much much larger.

sweetie will be a year old the end of april or early may.i love her deary but I truly hope it's a girl.when I purchased the birdhouse I was told it would house up to four keets comfortably I guess anything for a saleher cere is like sunnys the same coloring,now brake my heart and confirm its a male.is there anyway to tell while the babies what sex they will be?she still has some stripes across the back of her head.I should have said the birdhouse is 24in high and 17in wide on both sides.

sweeties tummy is yellow with just a blotch of green like a thin green line going down her belly she is not thin she has some weight to her.she has a white spot on each cheekand her cere is like sunnys

MIN. Size for THREE - 32x18x20"
Volume= 11,520" sq.

that is the absolute minimum cage size for three and thats... like... if you're stingy

Also I dont really remember what sunnys cere looks like but



thats my boy Darcy, see how his cere is pinkish purple?

Why are you pulling for a girl so much? If I was you I'd be all about a boy. first because you have three birds and more girls then boys usually ends in death whereas more boys then girls is usually a happy little home. Also, boys are mellower, easier to train, dont really enjoy biting, and are much more pleasent to listen to. I was really hoping Nouba was a boy for the longest time lol. Also you don't have to worry about eggs wiht boys even if girls havent mated they lay infertile eggs sometimes causing potentially lethal problems...

[edit]with the description you just gave I'd say she's a recessive pied boy sorry lol.[/edit]

I'd say that you have males. The 2 with the purple ceres...

have any pix? that'd deff. help!!

and, yes, your cage is WAYYYYYY to small. You NEED TO get them a larger cage. As big as you can afford and 1/2" barspacing! But at least 32X18X20...but as heathe said...that's STINGY even!

thank you guys for the input i believed if they could run around and have freedom to fly they had enough room.sweetie looks like sunny run down to the light purple peak and long time friend keet with the light puple peak except at the side of sweetie face is a white patch on each side.Well I know where part of my income check will go,I'll keep the birdhouse as a backup,it's a nice size.the reason I was hoping sweetie was a girl was because of the name I gave him when he was a baby and you couldn't tell his sex.he is now used to that name and I can't change it now to one more manly.

eh sweeties fine as long as hes sweet right?

Are there any websites for homemade 'keet' toys?

yes!
