I'd hazard a guess at, top picture, cock left hen right. Bottom, both cocks. The picture is a bit fuzzy so not 100%.

How can you tell the top right one is a cock? I would've said a hen because of the white around the nostrils? I only ask as I want a boy for Sky so want to know what I'm looking for

mintysowner, do you not see the difference between the two birds' ceres?? As Marianne has said, with the bird on the right, the cere is paler, but not white, and that may even be due to the light, but the rest of the cere is quite a deep solid purple colour. The bird on the right's cere is very light coloured all over with no colour around the nostrils.

Thanks guys, I am still learning I just thought paleness/whiteness around the nostrils = hen so think that's where I was going wrong
