The two to the right are clearly boys, to my mind. I'm often wrong, of course  The budgie on the left, how old is he/she? Forced to guess, I'd say she's a girl but I am not putting money on that. |

Beautiful birds!
At a year old, that cere won't turn blue so I'd say that's a girl. However her colour mutation may complicate matters.
She's not an albino and she doesn't appear to be cinnamon so I'd guess the pink cere says she's a girl. Someone more experienced with mutations may be able to be more definite, one way or the other!

Later edit: After looking at another version of the image, her cere does look more brown, not pink. -----
My previous comment: The mostly white/pale yellow one appears to have a pink-lilac cere. I thought this meant male (in some color varieties)? He/she looks a lot like our Willow, but her cere is plain white. |

If you are talking about the pale yellow bird, looks like a hen just starting to come into breeding condition.

I agree now! Please excuse my earlier comment. I don't know why her cere looked pink to me. Definitely looks more brown in the image that Marianne posted.

Sometimes on my laptop screen, colours don't look quite right if I look at a certain angle :-) I agree now! Please excuse my earlier comment. I don't know why her cere looked pink to me. Definitely looks more brown in the image that Marianne posted. |
