We think Mishty is female based on the behaviour. But it would be great to hear from experienced members over here.. Here are the photos without flash, in natural light. Age: around 2 years    |

Adding Moomoo too from mom's flock.. We think Moomoo is male, based on the behaviour. We are really naive at gender identification, except for blue and brown cere. He doesn't stay still and is very hyperactive. Let me know if more pics are needed for moomoo. He should be around 2 years or so.  PS: That dowel perch is temporary, while we washed the natural one to dry out.. |

I'm pretty sure she would have a bright blue cere if she was male at 2 years old.  hmm I am not sure about Mishty |

Marianne Marlow like mona I have trouble telling gender unless the cere is definitely brown or deep blue. I had decided with the pale blue ceres, if the white ring around the nose looked more like a pale whit-blue and was a blended color rather than a distinct white, the budgie must be a boy. Guess not! Mishty is a beautiful color with the yellow head and almost teal green body!

Mishty isn't very vocal and she shreds nicely. However, she isn't territorial or dominant, which is uncommon to see.. All the ones me and mom had, have been territorial and dominant ones.. But she has been a nervous bird since we got her.. Plus prone to illness.. she is the one affected easily with the seasons.. Not sure, if due to that, she never messed up with anyone ever. However, that's a plus point for Breezie right now.
I think I'm in love with Yellow budgies. I love how yellow Cookie and Moomoo are.. Yeli has yellow with a hint of green..
