Usually a tube would be a nice indicator of a female.

Vent, look for;

(male) pointy and towards the anus

(female) blunt and thicker

there is a way by looking at the body structure, usually the more oval shaped ones are female.

SEXING PARROTS IS AS EASY AS LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FISH, JUST BEFORE THE ANAL FIN. MALES HAVE A WHITE "SPIKE" STICKING OUT, FEMALES HAVE A FLAT BOTTOMED TUBE, LIKE A TINY SODA STRAW.

or you can get like a tiny tube a little smaller then an air line tube and stick it in the vent and try to suck out the eggs. They do this to many different type of fish to check for eggs or to collect them for research or breeding.
