Hi guys, I have a young budgie named Pip, who I got June 12th so estimating 8 months old. I'm so used to having boys and it being obvious that Pip is throwing me off- I'm almost certain she's a female but I'd love some confirmation that I'm not just imagining it. This image was taken today This one was June 12th So you can see the colour has changed, I just would love clarity as I have previously owned a male budgie whose cere became brown but due to a tumour and although Pip is young, I'd be happy to confirm it's not a male hormonal problem! Thank you all in advance, these little guys and my cockatiel hold such a special place in my heart

Hi and welcome.
Please to confirm that Pip is a girl. Her cere in the older photo looks to have been a very pale blue, witch is an immature (not in breeding condition) hen colour :-)

The photos are not the clearest, but in this case doesn’t matter too much: hen from me as well.
