Hello. It’s been a long time since I had budgies! Recently I’ve got a baby, but I’m trying to figure out the gender. Can someone help me a little bit please? I wish it’s a male ibb.co/0h749dP

Do you know how old it is? It looks very young.

Possibly boy, but a bit young to tell. I take it that this budgie is still with the breeder? looks quite young to be away from it's parents.

He’s with me and he’s getting everything he needs ( assuming it’s a boy ) The mother didn’t wanted to feed him anymore, so I took care of it!

I feel that this is a boy, as well. Good on you for taking on the parenting role.

So I stopped him One more photo with him here, maybe you can tell it’s gender better! ( he’s been cleaned after I fed him don’t worry ) ibb.co/5Yc50Q4

Agree Hezz, it makes the budgie look female. For me it's really too early to tell.

Why don’t you wait a few weeks . You budgie is very young and therefore very difficult to sex. What did the breeder tell you? If they are experienced breeders they usually have a good idea of the sex of a bird that age, but it’s much more difficult from a photo... Did you only want a boy? He or she is a little beauty 😍

Ill wait there’s no problem. He told me that it might be a boy. Of course not, it doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl. Its just that I had a budgie when I was younger and he was the best I’ve ever seen, I still miss him. That’s why I hoped this one is a boy too, but even if it’s a girl I’ll give her my whole love Thank you!!

Have you chosen a name yet? One thing for sure is that you are going to have a great bond together, because he is so young. I got my budgie at just six weeks and he is extremely tame. He is just five months old now and just finishing his first moult. His cere only changed from a deep lilac to deep blue a couple of weeks ago. But like you I wanted a boy, but had he turned out to be a girl I wouldn’t of cared because they just creep into your hearts...
