Gender opinions for baby budgie

[tmac17]

Picking this little one up on Saturday Morning, Ive named him/her Max. Max is about 8 weeks old but I would like some help on trying to determine gender. Looks like Max may be a recessive pied so, will that make it impossible to figure out? Help please!

Hello and warm welcome to this forum!!!

I think it might be too early to judge the gender though it has bluish white on the cere

Lets hear from experts !

P/S: Thank god I don't have the trouble of identifying brown or purple... Its an old story tmac17, so you may ignore

Hello and welcome to the forum. Lovely little bud bit I can't help with the questions.

I would have said male from those pictures but I've had barely any practice at this, so don't take my word for it.

Thank you all for the welcome and bit of input. I am super new to this but from what I've been reading I'm guessing male as well. Anyone else have any info. for me?

The first photo is of no use; the second a little better and has me thinking male. Clear sharp photos focusing on the cere in natural light, no flash, will help give some definitive answers.

I'd say both are hens.

I will work on getting a better picture when I get the little one home on Saturday. I'm somewhat hoping it is a male but either way I'm sure I will enjoy the new friend.

Bad News, Max got his foot caught in a toy and nearly ripped his toe off! That being said the breeder will not let me have him/her until she is sure he has recovered. In the mean time, I am picking this little one up today. Named him/her Loki. Any ideas about gender for this one?

Possibly a hen. Can you get a clearer picture?

looks like a hen to me as well
