There are DNA services online where you can pluck a feather, send it in, and they will sex your bird.

Please do not allow someone to surgically sex your bird.

Is there a reason you need to know?

I was thinking about adding another bird and don't want two males and one female. Might start to fight?

What kind of birds are they? Some you can tell by looking, others you can't and they need to be genetically sexed.

The term "Parrot" is a rather generic term to describe a family of birds, not an individual species. You might get more advice if you can identify which type of parrot. I suspect you may have budgies, if so it is fairly simple to identify which sex they are without having to have them sexed. If possible, upload a photo of the birds.

Most pet birds are parrots, what kind are yours? Budgies, (you can tell their sex by looking at the color of their ceres-that is where the nostrils are located, cockatiels?- depending on the mutations, you might be able to tell their sex by the colormof feathers on their face, lovebirds? can't tell by looking, parrotlets, you can tell the males by the dark blue feathers under their wings and on the rump. Other types of parrots, you can't tell by looking.

So what species are your birds?
