Hi,
You can check out http://www.thomasriver.co.za/parrots/ for pictures of a green female. Your best bet is to have the bird sexed. Not only will it confirm the sex, it is helpful if you ever want to sell your birds. Hope this helps!

smaller bird
Hi,
If the female is smaller than the male, I might would wait on pairing them. She might be a female, but she may not be old enough to breed. It is recommended a female not be breed until she is two. A two year old female is the same size of a mature male (body and tail length). A shorter tail means young in age unless the tail is frayed. If you see a visual difference in their size, I don't think she is old enough. If you breed her before two, she could die from egg binding. This is where she cannot pass the egg. I know this is not what you want to hear, but I would wait.
Hope this helps!
