Oh my. She's got the sweetest nature. Do I need to worry about these two having babies, how do I prevent this. I always suspected she was a she as she bosses bobo woman style 😄 thank you

If you don't give then anything that resembles a nest or hole then they won't breed. There are exceptions where the hen lays eggs on the floor of the cage but these are uncommon.
I could be wrong of course, it may be a cock, see what others say. How old is she?

She/he is about 4 months old but at first she had a dark pink cere it's only changed these last 7 days. I always thought a female though because she doesn't sing she's very quiet with the occasional little tweet. I thought maybe it's because she's young,she is so different to bobo.

The photo is not clear enough for me to make a call. Description sounds like a hen, but it could also be because Sunny is younger .....

I agree with you starlingqueen looks like a hen to me. The nares look light.

His/her cere is confusing me, it doesn't really have a dominant colour,it even looks beige in some lights. I think I will go with a hen for now until some obvious deep blue colour appears ,also I'm changing there names to Elvis and Priscilla for this week. 😁 thanks for the input guys, very much appreciated.

Beige will be a hen; photos do not always show up the subtle shadings that you yourself can see.

Yes she looks like a hen to me. The eyes are lower down the face and the head is flatter also.

That's good I've got my heart set on a hen now.can someone please reasure me that it is normal for her to perch with one leg. Elvis perches with two legs but Priscilla only looks like she has one leg when she is on her perch.

Perfectly normal. Some do some don't. Imagine what it must be like stood on a tree branch all day and night.
