Male bird tend to be brighter than female birds would be and males also tend to be a little larger than the female birds. Males also love to talk/whistle more so than females would. The best way to know for sure is to get bird DNA tested. Some species' males and females look totally different, for example the Eclectus female is purple and red while the male is green.
