Can you post a picture for us? "Tiny white thingy sticking out" isn't much to go on. I have one too.
If it's only on females, it might be her ovipositor. Are they acting/eating/breathing normally?

my camera isnt that great and i dont think its going to get the shot of it since its so sooo tiny, you would have to take a good look at the anus to see it.... it is not white but kind of clearish white or see threw white.. i was hoping it was the ovipositor but the weird thing is my other fully grown adult female doesnt even show a ovipositor or none of the adult females that i had ever did show the ovipositor, i have never even see an ovipositor on my dwarf cockatoo females befor... maybe its cause they are young females? they seem to be perfectly healthy, eating lots, always hungry, no signs of sickness...
