I'm thinking hen as well, but I'm also reserving judgement a little. This one might not be so clear-cut.

We were sold it as a boy, but me & my hubby are unsure.
He/she is quite friendly, has moments though. Always singing when music is on, but makes an awful racquet at times too.
Cere was more purply when we got him/her.
Though he/she recently went on a 4 day wild adventure after escaping! Very lucky to get him/her back.

Yes, I can see the purple on the cere in the first photos as well, but there is quite a degree of paleness around the nares. That might just be the light, or not. Did you buy from a breeder or pet store? If a breeder, they should be able to determine the gender; if a store, I'd definitely take what they said with a grain of salt!

We bought from a breeder. I noticed the pale round the mares so that’s why I started to question it.

What is the age? (sorry if I missed it)
I'm also thinking girl, but the purple throws me a little!
All will become clear in a few weeks when it's either dark blue or pale blue/white!

He/she is about 4 months, his/her bars are starting to fade at the front. He/she whistles & sings all day, but is very feisty. When should the cere settle? Is that after the first moult?

Really, it could be any time in the first six months. It just depends on how the bird matures sexually. That can differ, just as it can with humans.
