Hello and Welcome! 
My IRN Pepe and I would like to welcome you and Kukoo (what a great and unique name). How old is he/she? There is no way visually you can tell if an IRN is male or female under the age of 3 years other than DNA Bird Sexing. Males grow a black ring at sexual maturity (2-3 years), and the Females do not get a black ring, but get a slightly green or depending on the color very pale ring. Wonderful Pics of Kukoo, Pepe and I are hoping to see more pics of Kukoo in the future.

hey good luck with your fid
Your little fid is beautiful but it is too soon to tell its sex yet using feather color patterns, but you could use dna testing.
You have a green IRN, to me that is the wild-type feather color; and it looks like she is begining to molt, noting that loose feather.
A green IRN male will have a ROSE colored ring around the nape and a will have a BLACK throat and black line along the bottom of the cheeks fading into the rose ring.
A female green IRN will not have any black or rose colored feathers but will likely have a lighter green line aound her neck and nape.
My fid showed a faint ring after his first molt and his ring came in by his second molt which was about 20-22 months after he hatched.
Check out some of the pics on this website to verify color and paterns in your fid. Hope this helps.
