Hi Scott, welcome to the forum. Thank you! I am new to having a budgie! Based on the pictures, I am also wondering if people would know a rough age of the bird, as well as the gender. Many thanks

Not too sure, Scott, but I am leaning towards Hen. But he/she is a little cracker. These are the greatest little creatures, with time and patience on your part, you could have a fantastic friendship.

I think you have a little boy. With the dilute markings you are not going to see obvious baby heads bars, which makes it a little harder to put an age to. No obvious iris rings yet, so probably under nine months.

Hi and welcome. The cere looks pinky so I'd opt for a boy so far. Beautiful colouring.

Thanks everyone! I was thinking boy too but guess time will tell. For now he’s called Barney but may have to change depending on gender 😂
Spent a bit of time with him and he sat on my thumb for a bit... easy does it but it’s going in the right direction!

Isn't it a great feeling?
My two boys are now 5 years old and when they jump on my hand it's still an absolute joy.
