Hi everyone, I'm very very inexperienced about having budgies, can you guys tell me what's their genders? I bought the one on the left and next day my roommate came home with the one on the right, from what we know the one on the left (Tinker) is female and Mozu is male, is that correct?

Very pretty. You’ll need to try to get clearer pics to be certain, but to me it looks like a girl on the left and boy on the right, just from how the colours seem

They might be a couple of hens, but we'd need a photo without the flash, preferably in natural light.

From your first photo, the blue looks to be a boy, the other a hen, but with the next photo I'm not so sure about the boy. Too much light on the face, it could be washing out the cere colour, leaving it looking more hen-like.

Thank you awesome people, I'm glad I found this forum, I'll try to get a better picture of Mozu after I'm back from work!

Agree with you Hezz, the first photo is the one in most doubt for me due to the light. Another photo in natural light will help us be more accurate

Hello, these were the best pictures of Mozu I could take, my phones camera is acting weird nowadays and I'm pretty unskilled at taking pics, I hope these will be helpful Edit: By the way what is the meaning of this position, wings open like that.. Maybe he/she is tired? Because he (I hope) was flying all around the house before the pictures.

The position of the wings mean that your budgie was hot and trying to cool down.
I cannot tell my the photos but is your budgies cere purple or light blue?
purple = boy, light blue = girl.

I'd be fairly confident to call your blue bird a boy. It looks purple to me, Marianne ... no?

I think so Hezz, it's just like it's in soft focus or something. The nares look white, that's the bit confusing me.
