Need help with gender/age/mutation

[holten]

Hi all  my mom just got me these cuties and i could use some help to identify the gender/age/mutation please, i took some photos of them but i didnt wanted to get too close and bother them on their first day with me so if these might not be clear enough to tell, if so, just let me know and ill try to take some close-up photos 

First one:



Second one:



Here they are together, they are both yellow and the only way i can difference them so far is cuz of the tiny black markings one of them has and the brown-ish eyes of the other 


Thanks in advance

Just going by these photos, it looks like you might have a pair, but better photos, without the cage bars, close up and straight on ........ I know, don't ask for much, do we? ......... would help. I think the first birdie, with the little bit of black is male and the second a hen ....... but ...... better photos will help.

Oh nice, I'll took some close up photos tomorrow cuz they are sleeping right now, thanks for the help

[starlingqueen]

I agree, it does look like one of each.

Very pretty

I also agree with what people have said, the one with black markings looks male and the other female. But it's really hard to tell!

[OP]

Putting the flatter head theory to the test would say they are a pair. The one with the black is the male.

Thanks all for the reply I took some more photos today, any ideas about what type they are or age?

1st (Boy):






2nd (Girl):





Both:




I hope photos show i dont know how to check preview by replaying

[starlingqueen]

They are as we said male and female. I'm not up on mutations but I think the female is a lutino.

Boy and girl, top to bottom. Do either of the birds have red eyes?

[holten]

Hmm i dont know how red the eyes are supossed to be but the female do has red-ish eyes is more noticeable when she is in the light

The male is like changing a bit everyday, i look at him today and he had some green-ish spots under the chest similar to this one i found on internet

Just that he doesnt have them that much and marked but is def some green of that type going on

Also... should i be worried if they dont seem to make too much of a noise? i knew budgies are kinda noisy but mines havent really make any noises except for some chirping like 2-4 times and then nothing and also they dont seem to do much during the day, specially the female, she seems sleepy during the day but when is dark outside and put them a cloth over the cage so they can sleep, they start eating and playing with their toys... so i have no clue whats going on

[Hezz]

Don't worry about the noise, yet. At the moment they are still settling in, and scared of their new surroundings, the same goes for what they get up to. If you were in a strange, possibly hostile environment you wouldn't be singing and dancing and playing games. The same with the birds. Birds are not like having a cat or dog who instinctively want to trust you; you have to earn the trust of birds. With the cover over them, they may have felt safer and so felt more like exploring their cage.

Thanks for the replay, yea i was hoping it was that, im talking to them several times a day and the boy doesnt mind anymore to have my hand inside the cage when changing water and food, the girl is still a bit more afraid but not as much as she used to be they were actually like sleepy-ish all day too until i played some music and oh well, looks like they like rihanna haha, they are chirping along with it

I reckon Lutino hen and yellow and green POSSIBLY spangle male - he looks a lot like my Murph:
