Nobody can tell me the gender of my budgies... :S

[alexxx]

Hello guys , i really need your help... i have 2 budgies.. and i have asked a lot of people and nobody is sure about their gender...
i believe the green is a male and the white a female... but a lot of people told me that both budgies are famale and that it doesnt matter if the green one has a little of blue cere... here is a photo of them...



and a video as well.

I am no expert but I would say the green budgie is a female as they can have blue ceres with white around the nares like your one. I didn't see enough of your other bird to tell. They are both lovely and very placid.

Thanks for the reply... if it's really a girl.. why doesnt she have a normal brown cere like every other bird? : S
i am so confused

[BudgieS90]

the green one is a female, the blue and white one is a boy. I am pretty sure!

[alexxx]

Really??
have you had any similar budgies to mine?

[BudgieS90]

the reason she does not have a brown cere is because she is just a baby, when females are young they have a milky white blue cere and it turns brown as they mature! check it out online

sorry for asking but if the green was still a baby male budgie... shouldnt he have stripes or shadows on the top of his head? by the way.. check this out:

[BudgieS90]

not necessarily I dont think, because it depends on the genetics, I am not an expert on that. well, its not a baby but its still young, you can tell this because the eyes are very black still! deffo a girl the green one, they start off with a light blue cere with white on it and it turns brown s1271.photobucket.com/user/cori3dg/media/Talk%20Budgies/youngfemales.png.html

[BudgieS90]

sorry I posted the wrong one s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fe/28/86/fe2886509b084bc2cfc44ea9c0b4b4f5.jpg there is the males.

How old are both birds? How true to their real colour are the ceres in the photos? I think you recessive pied, if it is, is male; your normal green shows up differently in the photo and video, but I am going to lean towards male there as well.

Unfortunatly they dont have rings on legs... so i cant tell.

They both look quite young, like they have only recently lost their head bars. I think both hens.

i dont know.. i am searching the white's mutation.. and if it's a specific mutation.. it may be a boy and his cere just cant go blue
