Ok! I have a White Brested blue and can't figure out if it's a male or female. Any one know how to tell?

I assume you are talking about a gouldian. Blue hens are much duller than blue cocks. If the bird is in breeding condition, the beak of the hen will be black (the male's remains white). Only males sing.
