He's definitely not assertive, around all the birds I've introduced him he's more of a follower and very meek! Except with me haha, he thinks he's the boss of me!

What is an American budgie, I always wonder? There are pet types and show types; I think they were trying to tell you he is a pet type, as in hasn't been bred for show, or from show budgie stock, and for what that is worth, nothing to do with his cere colouring. Some sites (usually American), refer to pet budgies as American, and show budgies as English.

It is a daft idea, particularly when the birds originated from neither country.

Well that's interesting, he's a very handsome bird but you have me wondering now if my little Tyler could be a 'runt' because he's tiny (although he doesn't think so!) ;)and his beak, not his cere is slightly different shades across!

An update, the brown mark seems to be scabbing over! Not sure if this is a good or bad thing...

Me either. Sounds like he might have banged it and maybe bruised or cracked it. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't keep growing. Make sure his nostrils stay clear. Hopefully it will scab, fall off and all will be good with his world again.
