From the perspective of interactive behavior, if two peony parrots often groom each other's feathers, play together, and cuddle with each other, then they are likely to be a pair. On the contrary, if there is less interaction between them, or there is obvious fighting and aggressive behavior, then they may not be a pair.

Although the gender of peony parrots is not significantly different in appearance, some clues can be found if you look closely. For example, a male bird may have a more tapered head, a thin body, and eye circles farther from the top of the head, making the eyes appear smaller; while a female bird may have a rounder head, a fatter body, and eye circles closer to the top of the head, making the eyes appear larger. . In addition, the tips of male birds' tail feathers are usually pointed, while the tips of female birds' tail feathers are branched into a W-shape.
