I'm relatively new to budgies- "relatively" being my way of trying not to directly say that, despite doing days of intensive reading and research, and buying hundreds worth of supplies, I am very nervous about doing anything wrong as I've only had budgies for about two months now- though I've read up on how to tell the sexes of budgies apart. The issue with two of mine is that their ceres aren't really blue or tan/white, sort of a really, really, really light blue shade. Both are more 'aggressive', though I didn't consider at the time that I should probably get one, hand tame them, and then possibly get another? so they're just close friends and they don't really care if I exist or not at any given time. They do bully the third bird so much that I decided to get another large cage for just that little guy.. But, regardless, this is Coda, a teal? sort of budgie I got a while back.
I hope this is a good enough image? If not, I can certainly get better ones, the little guys are just asleep right now and I don't want to disturb, wake, or heaven forbid scare them.
PS: Each of my budgies is named after a musical term! Coda, a musical term from the Italian word for "tail", refers to the passage in a song that brings a piece to an end. I didn't really have a reason for naming Coda this, I just really like "Coda" as a name, and no other musical terms quite fit their personality, aside from possibly Vibrato, as their chirps tend to have a sort of vibrating trill to them.
And.. Here's my friendly little guy, Tenor, the more gentle one. They're a pied budgie, and from what I've read, pied males' ceres stay pink? So I've been referring to the bird as "he", but I'd like confirmation on this if anybody knows.
PS, again: Tenor is a vocal range in choir- I, personally, am a tenor/counter-tenor, one of the "lower" vocal ranges, though it's closer to the middle/above bass. The difference between tenor and counter, from my understanding, is that counter-tenors can more easily raise their voices to the alto and even soprano range, usually with the use of falsetto, or head voice. I named the bird Tenor again because I like the idea of "Tenor" as a name, and Tenor was the one that took a liking to me, but also because the little guy has considerably deeper chirps than the other birds. Tenor "talks" far, far more than the others, sometimes the little dude even starts chirping and clicking and the like for half an hour while I'm sitting with them.
