Is my 3.5 month old English budgie a boy or a girl?

From that photo, combined with the age, I want to say female, but I have no real experience with young hens, so I will leave it to the more experienced to determine for sure.

After blowing the photo up, those pale rings around the nares look to me to be white rather than pale blue. If this is true in reality I would say girl - although the rest of the blue is rather dark.
If those paler rings around the nares/nostrils are actually pale blue though, then definite boy.

This is one of those ones that could go either way. On first viewing it looks to obviously be a boy, but as morgan has said, if the rings around the nares are white, it should be a hen. The cere is very blue for a hen, though.
How would you describe the cere, yourself? Is the photo true to real life colour?

Here is a picture from above. The cere is definitely very blue and had a purplish color when we got our budgie. The area around the nostrils however is a whitish color. So it’s likely a hen?

Going by that last photo, I’d have to say hen.

Agree, if the last photo is anything to go by then a hen.

But the description sounds male to me. Confusing.

Is there a photo of the budgie when the cere was purple?

Those last photos look very much like a boy. I really do think you have a male.
