It is my understanding that unless the type of bird is sexually dimorphic, dna testing is the only way to know for sure. (unless an egg gets laid 
) Checking their hips is unreliable.

Yes, Quakers too. The only sexually dimorphic parrots I can think of off hand are Red Bellies, Ruppells and Eclectus Parrots though I'm sure there are more.
