hello, i am looking at purchasing this budgie. He/she is 9 weeks old. Can anyone tell me from this picture if its a male or female?  Its the only picture i have so i hope its clear enough *fingers crossed*

Looks like a boy, but I am not expert. Someone will be along soon with better knowledge than me... Beautiful budgie. 😍

Thank you for your thoughts.. i was guessing a boy too.. but thats only after an hour of learning what to look for.  The other two for sale  look more obvious. (one has a white cere and one a pink.... female, male) Hopefully I will be able to get a better idea today in person. I'm looking forward to meeting them, very excited I talked my husband into saying yes to a companion bird =)

I think this is a boy; they're not the best photos for it, but I do think they are clear enough. Very pretty.

I'm also going to guess boy.

Thank you for all your opinions on a photo that was not the best. I went ahead and purchased the sweet dear. Nugget is settling in today, nomming on some seed and getting use to their new environment. I can now update with a much clearer shot. I am still in two minds if he/she is male or female! I could tell so easily with their brother and sister. I am so new to this though. I am also guessing Nugget is a grey spangled.

I'd be confident in calling Nugget a boy with these extra photos, and yes, he is a grey spangle.

Thankyou! I'll be off later today to get him a new cage. I can already see problems with the small one I have. I am looking forward to getting to know and bond closely with this little chap. Its been a few years since i last had a bird (sun conure) and i missed having my feathered friend.

I have a sunny, he gets on well with my male budgies.
