Hi guys, I'm new to budgies and I recently got one from a pet shop. They've said to me is 4 months old. Please check out the pictures and help me to find out his age and gender. Does he/she looks healthy to u ?  Manny thanks in advance !    |

I would say a boy who looks healthy , as to his age I will let someone more experienced help you. One little thing to help you.....you have a vision cage like me, and you need to get rid of the green plastic perches and get more natural wooden ones. The plastic ones will hurt his little feet. He is lovely ❤️

He looks lovely - think he is a shade darker than a ‘normal green’ He doesn’t have head bars so he has been through his first moult but he doesn’t have iris rings yet which is a sign of a young bird.
He will love some wooden perches and something to chew on and shred like natural raffia and balsam wood.
What’s his name?

He is starting to get his iris rings - they often show up more in photos than what you can see in person. Possibly more than four months, I’d suggest maybe six, but it isn’t going to make much difference to how he reacts to his new environment. Can you post a front on photo, and not as a collage, so that the photo might be enlarged. Use the “Add image to post” on the left-hand side of your reply area.
