If Rio was a boy, the cere would be blue by now.
I'm assuming that Rio is older than 6 months?

Yes Rio's cere would be blue by now and it looks a girly hen colour to me.
Does Rio sing much?

99% sure you have two hens. They will probably be a little more feisty with one another. How are they getting on now?

Going by the pics you have two hens Are they settling down now? If they are not settling down together, perhaps a bigger cage would be best. That way they have more space. Also two sticks of millet (one in each corner) may be helpful plus some leafy Pitisporum branches may help. If it's still not working out then seperate the two budgies (I usually remove the territorial one from the cage) although may be best to remove both budgies for 1-2 weeks and then re introduce them both to the cage at the same time.

Rio and Reka are doing much better together! They do keep their space from each other and Rio is less territorial. I think Reka has calmed down Rio because I can now handfeed Reka and rarely Rio. They have been given more toys and food to they don't get too angry.

That is good news, then. Hopefully they can get along nicely and become friends with a little time.

That is great news Hens mostly don't like to share but there can be exceptions.
