Babybirds gender ( clear pictures )

[Budgiefeets]

Now i have some clear pictures of Babybird, so you all can look if its a male or female.

I looked on google and found some pictures of females with light blue cere/nose.

But last evening Babybird was fooling around on the floor and started to make breeding movements on my fingers.

Like males they usualy do. So that made me question the gender again. Sine females they bend ther neck and gets banana shaped.

Also Babybird is molting now.

Wow, what pinnies you have!

Looks like a girl to me. She's so cute!

I have a female here, Boba, who often acts a bit like a male.

Ok thanks for clearing it up
Yes she is a porcupine now

Also she dont have any black spots under her beak.
Will she ever grow some of these spots ?

Possibly, possibly not.
She's a recessive pied. None of my dominant or recessive pieds have had chin spots.

Throat spots are not known to occur on recessive pieds, and yes, she is still a she; hens can definitely get a little jig going when the urge is there.

I just googled the word - Recessive Pied -

"The Recessive Pied budgerigar mutation is one of approximately 30 mutations affecting the colour of budgerigars. It is the underlying mutation of the Danish Pied variety, aka Harlequin"

So she is Danish like my mother and me

In the evening she likes to run around on the floor and finds left over seeds in the carpet.
She also likes to chase after a string that i make her run after like cats do
