We are not 100% sure if this little boy has turned into a girl. This is the picture taken near the beginning when we got billy. In the cage in natural light. Attachments:

A slightly better one. Looks like he/she's thinking what is she up to again? Now is it a boy or a girl I wonder? Attachments:

Now that's a good question.
We was told back in October half term (end of October) that the budgie was a he and was 8-10 weeks old. On this forum we was told that Billy was older roughly 4-6 months old and a boy. So we have had billy for 5 months so very roughly about 9-11 months. (that's if my maths is correct)
In January time we noticed that the beak area was starting to go pale, and at the end of last month we noticed that is a pale blue colour with white rings around the nostrils. Now we have had in this order 1 cock, 1 hen, 1 cock. Now the hen we had didn't really speak much but was very vocal and semi-tame, which of course this one seems to be going in the same direction.
Hope that helps.

Yes it helped and it appears that your budgie is a female  |

Hey beth - lovely budgie Girls and boys can talk equally well, just persevere Not all budgies are 'into' talking though. Good luck - she really is lovely. |
