Does he/she sing a lot and headbob?

As the bird is a recessive pied (cere wont go blue), I am going to say boy!

skysmum contacted the budgerigar society about Bumble who told her it was a male sky blue recessive pied, as we didn't have a clue! One minute we thought boy, the next a girl. Bumble was so hard to determine male or female because of his colouring.

Now don't be like that.

If I gave up after one wrong call, I would never put in my two bob's worth; also, even the experts get it wrong at times, the proof being my Misty who was "diagnosed" as a girl.
