I became the proud father to Colin the budgie about 3mths ago.
He/she is apparently hand reared and less than a year old. Although I can't confirm either of these points, as I adopted Colin after his/her elderly owner died...
Colin is very tame, sociable, chatty, nippy, boisterous and an absolute joy to have about!
When I got Colin his/her cere was light tan in colour and crusty looking along with his/her beak. Soon after his/her arrival I noticed a change in his/her behaviour and he/she became very subdued and quite. He/she looked like he/she was losing weight. Then I noticed a lot of feathers in the bottom of the cage. I made the conclusion that he/she was probably going through his/her first moult. About 2 weeks later I noticed the colour of the cere was changing to a VERY pale blue colour. At this point I believed Colin was indeed a boy and there was no need to change his/her name to Colleen!
This was roughly 2 and a half months ago... Colin is now friendlier and more boisterous than ever! He/she still has pin feathers on top of and on the back of his/her head. The cere has over the last 2 weeks, lost the very light blue colour and returned to a light tan colour!
I'm now very confused as to whether Colin is a boy or a girl!?!
PLEASE HELP!😫
