Boy or girl??

I have two budgies & when I got them a week ago they looked like males, but I’m just not too sure. What do you think? They said that they were 3 months old. Do they look that old to y’all? Thanks so much!











(Sorry the lighting is a bit weird..)

To my eye they both do look like they could be around 3 months old. Very sweet looking birds. Did you get them from a breeder or pet store? If you got them from a breeder then I would tend to trust what the breeder says. I'm still learning to tell the gender so I'll let the experts weigh in.

I got them from a pet store, and the employees didn’t know how to tell the gender. I did some research and did my best to look and try and get the same gender.

They are very much in shadow and viewing from the side isn't helpful. I'm not going to commit to anything without some better photos - front on and natural light on their faces, not behind, please.

Here are some more pictures! Let me know if y’all need more!

I'm still not certain on either bird. The little sky blue (opaline) I'm leaning more towards hen. Recessive pieds are notoriously hard to determine, but if I had to make any call there I'd lean towards boy.
