This is my first budgie, we call Custard a good boy but I really have no idea nor do I know how to describe his coloring! Attachments:

In this photo his cere looks quite blue but is not in reality, it is pale lilac for want of a better description.

Hmm its a bit hard to tell from the photo. Did you use flash? Does Custard have white rings around the nostrils? If so then Custard is a girl. If its just the flash making the blue look white, so the cere is really purpley blue then custard is a male. Hope that makes sense  |

Thank you for your quick reply! Yes flash was used and he does have very slight white around the nostrils, but his beak is quite purple! We will try for a better (no flash) photo tomorrow |

Looks like flash has played it's part. Anyhow still looks more male than female.

Custard is so cute. Male or female, the name fits. More photos, please.

Custard looks male in this photo.
He is a recessive pied and recessive pied males do not develop blue ceres like males of most other mutations

As said earlier, a picture we have just taken in natural daylight. Those white rings around the nostrils do seem very strong so we are still a bit unsure. Attachments:

Loved the video. Custard is such a sweetheart. Also very interested in the birds on the laptop. He's a smart one.
