Marianne Marlow Finlay is sat pinging the cage bars VERY determinedly. Would you care to ask Iris what exactly Finlay might be trying to tell me? Also are you sure you are still on the boy side of the fence 😂 I've never seen a budgie ping the cage before. A good five minutes she sat there. Pausing only to glare at me interrupting her with the camera. Eventually Toby came over to head Bob away from inside the cage and she stopped 🤣

I would guess that Finlay wanted attention from another budgie. Iris does it because she wants to be in the same cage as George at night.
I am unsure of Finlay's gender, I know there is a slightly brown bit to the cere, but the blue looks darker than any hens I have seen.

Well it worked! Toby came over to have a nice little chat. He's not fussy though. He likes to chat to the clips I use to attach treats to the side of the cage...
Currently the cere has a wide very dark brown strip in the centre and blue either side so who knows! Like you have said before. I will wait for an egg to be sure 🤣

You may never know!!
I have had three males have brown bits on their ceres in the past and they were definitely boys!

Iris does it even when covered, all night long when in with Daisy, Billy and Colin. But when she is in the cage with George she doesn't do it at all. ping, ping.. would drive me mad, lol

Here's the latest shot. Like you say definitely a brown 'bit' rather than all brown. Oh and the blood stained pin feather! Pesky bird breaks a pin feather, spends an AGE moulting the blood stained feathers out, and then immediately breaks another one!

Oh no, not pinging! I’ve never had this but I’m sure it becomes very annoying. Bless Toby for going to have a matter with Finlay.
