I would like to know how can I tell which one is the female and male ???...Right now one of them, the feather between the legs are wet all the time.. there are 11 to 12 months old.. what can I do about this ?? ..can someone give me more information about this ??

The only way to tell for sure whether your bird is male or female is to have a DNA test done either by a vet or one of those kits from a genetic lab. Of course if your bird lays an egg it's female .

I do nt know what the cause of the wet feathers between the legs is but if it was my bird I would take take it to an avian vet and have a well bird check up done. . The check up is a good idea anytime you get a new bird. ----Yogi

I agree with Yogi; you need a DNA test (or an egg!) to determine sex in conures. I also agree that you should get the bird with the wet vent to an avian vet as soon as possible; the vent area should be dry on both males *and* females...
