Is Bebe a boy or a girl

[tanja]

So since most people believed Bebe is a boy there were still a few who think Bebe may be a girl. I hope that I got 3 good shots on Bebe's cere to figure out what gender he/she is

I'd say Bebe is a hehe.

He has a large beak Tanja or maybe he hasn't grown into it yet.

lol some budgies have large feet and some have large beaks I guess So in the end I chose right, even though I wasn't quite sure with him being a boy when I saw him at the pet shop. Because the light was bad... But I saw 2 other budgies who had less baby bars and therefore showed their real cere colors. One was def. a girl. The cere was much wider and had this pale color all over. The other one had a smaller cere and it was already showing the blue color! So Bebe was a budgie in between, not real blue, not real white but more of a lavender color all over, so my feeling for a boy was right

All the better to bite you with. We are all different and it makes him look cute, sort of clever, wise. Well done choosing a boy.

A boy, he will grow into his beak, although i fear my Chilli's feet will always be HUGE

[Hezz]

Agree skysmum. Mango's beak seemed big on her too.

I am still going with boy.

Gives every indication of a cock, at this age.

I'm gonna say HEN! I know I know, BUUUUT is there not a TINGE of white round the nares? AND, listening to her calls in Tanja's vid sounded very much like my Mont used to?

But hey, go with the experts Tanja but have gotta say Bebe is beautiful

Thumbs up for you, he is beautiful. Lols, if he turns out to be a girl you can tease me.

Munchy's beak occasionally looks massive, but I think with Bebe it might also be because his head seems quite small height-wise above the cere. Perhaps once he's matured and puffs his head feathers up it would look so massive, as well as him having actually grown by that point as well?

[tanja]

Nope in real life there is no white around his nares! It is all some kind of lavender with a blueish hint.

BTW. he loves Disco and he was out of the cage. He wasn't afraid at all to go through the gate on my finger!
Amazing right now he is on the floor eating a piece of millet and playing with his blue ball

Here a photos of him watching Disco!

Well I am astounded, how lucky are you? That is so precious!
