Is my bird a he or she?

Hi everyone!

I am hoping to get my budgie a mate, but i cannot feel sure about the gender of him/her. Can any experts out there let me know what the gender might be? I am putting some pictures in the link below. Thanks in advance!

From what I can see of the cere colour I would say a boy, but I have never owned a girl myself so don't really have a point of comparison.

On my screen the cere colour appears a purple-blue, hence my suggestion of male. Females tend to have pale blue ceres with white around the nostrils, as far as I've seen from photos and heard from other members.
Photos can be tricky at times though, so you might have to tell by looking yourself if we suggest what to look for.

I think boy! What a pretty little guy!

I'd also guess boy, but it's hard to tell from those photos, how old is the budgie?

Looking at the brighter photos, I’d say male too, particularly from photos ending 804 and 810. A lovely little bird - such pretty colours.

I’m saying boy as well. A young one.

Thank you all! Indeed, my guess based on the cere colour is that the bird is a boy, but as he is still fairly young (about 7-8 months at most), and the cere is not the common royal blue, I just wanted to confirm. Now we can get this pretty boy a girlfriend to keep company when I start going back to the office after corona!

Thanks and best wishes to you all!
