I would guess at she, but as he/she is a recessive pied, it can be hard to tell.
Does he/she sing? what is the behaviour like?

Reggie is very nervous and has a quite tweet that he only really does when he or she hears zazu. How old would you guess reggie to be?

I have no idea of age, a recessive pied does not get the iris rings in their eyes, which can be a gauge of being over or under a certain age!
How long as your mum had Reggie?

Ha, ha. Beaky is keeping you guessing skysmum. The more unusual colours are difficult to determine gender aren't they? |

I am going to agree with Marianne and say girl, as well. As to age, I think you might need to wait a while. I think Reggie is a double factor dominant pied, in which case she will get iris rings forming and becoming evident in the second half of her first year.
