I thought it would be interesting for us to describe our male/female budgie personality differences.
My female JoJo sings with tiny high pitched Squawks and Whistles (kind of sounds like a squeaky wheel) also not as often or loudly as the boys. She only very occasionally "head-bobs" when she sings.
JoJo bites as a first resort..
My boys all love singing in front of the mirror, they sing often and loudly, it's very tuneful and pretty. They headbob, run back and forth when they sing. They seem very happy-go-lucky!
The boys bite as a last resort and would rather run away than bite.
What are the budgie gender differences that you have noticed?

Pippin east slowly for a long while, JoJo can't stand still long enough for a good food. Pippin laid back and gentle, JoJo and little madam will come to you on her terms (except if it is the oh, who she will fly too when he holds his hand up). JoJo careful to try new things, Pippin straight in and no fear.
And this is only after 2 weeks of Pippin!

Hmm.. JoJo(f) likes OH more than she likes me. Abbie(f) did not like me at all. The boys love me!

Both Whiskers and Joey are changing their song and many time I cannot tell which one is making the noise. I have to watch closely for the tail bobbing. Edward does interact with me, she is occasionally making sounds and they are quite melodious. She can squawk quite loud as well when she feels like it. As for gender preferences I don't know as I have no-one to compare with. My daughter visits quite often but the buds don't seem to interact. She hasn't seen Edward yet.

I'm amazed at how friendly some people hens are with them!!
I think all hens seem to take an instant dislike to me!!

My hen Mont used to love being with me but was BESOTTED with the OH - so much so when he was around to put her back I would sustain severe injuries?! And as for the boys - well, they are pretty non plussed However, I feel the males can be a bit more "cheeky" with it
