Hi Everyone! (These pics taken with no flash - but have shown up lighter when posted on here) I thought these two budgies are male - even though they look to have white rings around nostrils, the cere is starting to look generally bluish/pinkish...but may I have confirmation please? Many thanks in advance! Also if possible,may I please have a description of mutation of both budgies please ...? both violet pieds? Budgie No.1    Budgie No.2    |

Both female I think.
Don't know about mutations.

Hi  I'd say your right about the mutations (I'm no an expert though). I think budgie 1 is male and budgie 2 maybe female? Maybe wait for someone more experienced than me to reply! Good luck Nicola |

I so love these little birds, but it drives me CRAZYYYYYY trying to sex pieds & spangles as they have fooled me SO often that I've lost confidence in my ability to make a choice! I don't think I'll ever "get it"!!! Ive noticed they also look different in different light at different times of day, which makes it very confusing. The pics certainly do look lighter on here than they do in the flesh. (I have a lady who has fallen in love with these little ones, but wants a female - at least if I can tell her Ive asked a number of experts, its easier to explain how difficult it is to give an accurate answer.) So grateful for everyone's help! Thankyou! |

Budgie No.2 = Dominant Pied Violet Female
