PoPo left and PJ right. We think PoPo is female and PJ is male but not sure and I'm thinking of getting another bird. My understanding is 2 males 1 female no problem, 3 females is huge problem. Is that correct? They are just over 2 months old

I am soooo no expert on sexing babies, so please take anything I say with a grain of salt and not gospel.
But the white rings on their pinkie ceres makes me think both are hens.
Experts?

Hmmm its hard to say. Could you take a photo of them in natural light with no flash? Sometimes flash can make a budgies cere look paler than it is in real life.

if you have the option put your camera on "super macro" it cuts of flash but also takes very detailed pictures, the problem is the room must be well lit. . two males i think . I would say it will never matter, their isn't ofteN "problems" with the amount of a different sex with budgies. The only problem occurs when their is a nesting site. Look at racheal for instence 7 males 4 hens (i think lol) ,and i have 4 hens and 2 males. I don't have any problems with them (and i don't think racheal does either .

And i started thinking,what could that probably be???I was really worried,hehe
To me,they re both cocks.Young budgies with the lower part of the cere pink and mauve around the nostrils,they re males!!!Of course,the cere is very shinny at this age and white/silver/mauve/light blue look pretty much all the same at this area.
I have to say that you did very well to buy young budgies,because they become easier a pair and they mate more easily.
Thank you

I have eight males, four females. I have four males with two females in my house and four males with two females in the aviary so more cocks than hens lol. i do believe that it is best to not have too many females because they can be such little bullies. Cute but still bullies

lol, ok so it is harder than I thought. I guess I should wait a little longer and get better pics in better light. I'll also get some macro shoots, it's supposed to be able to switch automatically but it's having problems because of their movements. Found the manual.
I stopped reading directions for stuff when they got like encyclopedias. I bumped the side of the camere the other day and the next pic came up, bumped the other side and the previous came up. Had no idea.

Cute but still bullies with mine, the hens tended to bully everything in sight (holly even went after plastic things that looked like birds lol) But eventually they got a kind of "hierarchy" going, and now their isn't any problems . Infact i would say it's more the males i have problems with now, mak and tazz both want the same hen so tend to fight, nothing serious, just raising up on their feet as if too say " ha im bigger" and the odd peck to show who's boss.
