Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I used to have a male white capped pionus. Lost him in a fire...He was the apple of my eye!
Looks like you have a female?
My little boy's name was Scooter, because of the way they ruffle their feathers and scoot along the perch. He thought he was a tough little guy! He was a scream in front of a mirror! Looked like a little bulldog with feathers.
I have been thinking about getting another white capped, but I still don't have the heart for it. Scooter has been dead for 11 years now and it's still too soon for me to get another one.

You can usually tell the sex of most of the parrots by the head shape.
A flat broad shaped head is a male and a round topped head is a female. It's rare that this fails in the parrots.
The lady that I bought my blue and gold from didn't believe me. I told her the sex of each of her babies and sure enough the DNA confirmed I was right.
It's one of those things you learn through experience! Doesn't work for cockatiels or parakeets, things like that, but it does work for the parrots and the smaller birds in the parrot family like lovebirds, etc...
I couldn't tell for sure from your pictures. Looked like you have a female to me.
