Hi laurasboyz, welcome to the forum. I'd say that is a cock on the left and a hen on the right. Two lovely little budgies

Lovely budgies but I particularly like the green one! Have you thought about names yet or are you waiting for confirmation of gender? I can't help in that respect I'm afraid but I'm sure someone will come along shortly to be able to advise you.

Thanks everyone. I guess time will tell exactly what they are. As I thought that they were 2 boys we've named them Beau and Rico. The blue one is a rainbow budgie hence rain-beau. My son picked the green and yellow one so we went for something Brazilian sounding because of the colours. ?

Two boys, I was going to say, but another front-on photo of the budgie on the right, would be good. And what does the cere look like to you? Is it as uniform in colour as the other budgie's?

I'd say that the Beau is a Boy and Rico possibly a Girl! Lovely looking birdies

I think you are right, Marianne Marlow. My first impression was very quick; the more I look at Rico, the more I am seeing girl.

Thank you for your replies. We have renamed Rico, Mimi, as I am convinced now she is a girl. beau pays her a lot of attention and it actually looks like they're kissing sometimes! Mimi's cere is pale blue all over and sometimes Beau's looks the same, depending on the light, but then other times, his looks like it has a more purple tinge to it.

Does Beau sing more than Mimi? and look at his reflection in mirrors while head-bobbing?
I find that behaviour is the best way to tell males from female.
