I actually don't think cockatiels are visually sexually dimorphic. There might be some things that give you stronger indications one way or the other, but the only way to be 100% sure of the gender, bar having a female lay eggs, is a DNA test.

visually sexing cockatiel can only be done after he/she is 6 month old and have already molted . if your cockatiel have molted then thats a male .

You can also usually take a guess based on certain behaviors. Males tend to be more vocal. Also, if you ever see your cockatiel sit on a favorite perch, and completely spread his/her wings, it's a very male display of ownership.

No. I mean spread them completely, and then just leave the open for at least three solid seconds.

Here's a demonstration. Mine doesn't sing while he does it though.
