Hello! We got 3 budgies yesterday, they said they are 3 months old each, but we think they are older. The blue and white ones are both super docile and don't mind stepping up and things, however the yellow one bites, and bullies the others a lot. We think it is a female, and could be hormonal issues, but we aren't sure. here are some pics for you to help with sexing. She also has been making a pretty clicking and chirping noise. is this a mating call?

The first photo shows a cock, the last is a hen, the middle bird's cere is in shadow. A clearer photo is needed for sure.

The one you said is a hen, looks like a boy a bit, a bit blue on the cere.. But mostly white. And any other people who can give a second opinion too?

Agree with Hezz, I think middle bird is a boy, is the cere purple in person?
Hens will often have white-ish ceres with some light blue.

The first picture and second picture have been "kissing" and we suppose regurgitating food for eachother, and they have been doing what sounds like a mating call to each other, and the first picture was making a almost hissing noise to her. also, the middle ones beak is more of a brown/pink color, its a little flaky.
