Hello!
I am new here, but not new to birds. However, I am new to identifying young budgie gender. Baby1 and baby2 are the ones in question. I have yet to name due to not knowing their gender. Baby3 I am most certain is female and her name is Nevaeh. When I got them I was positive they were boys. But within the last two weeks their Ceres have changes. Now I am very confused. They have gone from a very obvious blue to a lighter blue. And they are all the same age. Could you help me out? Thank you!

Also, I did not clip their wings. They came this way 😭

Could you get some clearer pictures in natural light.

They are not tame yet. I would have to grab them and take them to the window. Which I really didnt want to do. And their cage is large and I cannot move it. But I will do my best! Thank you!

For some reason my computer will not let me see the photos, so I cannot comment.

Thanks Hezz! they do look pretty henny. I'm unsure on bird 3, need to see a photo in natural light, without a flash.

Recessive pied? could be a purple cere I do not know.
