I have 2 rescue birds. I know for sure the smaller bird is a male by the blue cere. I am really not sure about the larger bird with the brownish purple cere. I was told she/it, is a female. But lately I have been witnessing her/it, trying to get on the little male & make " budgie boogie " with him. Of course he refuses & fights her off ! Maybe cause she is HUGE ! So ... my question is. Could she/it, be a male ? Also ... She/it, is HUGE ! I am talking mamoth budgie here. She's like an amazon ! She/it, is large & noisy & aggressive with toys & loves to dive bomb me & generally creates havock in the household. I thought female budgies were more quiet & not so busy ? This bird is really smart & has no fear ... any new toys or any new food I show her & she will come & investigate immediately. Unlike her little boy buddy. Anyone have any ideas ? No, sorry ... I don't have a picture of her. Link to comment

I wondered if she is an English budgie. I was under the impression that the cocks would be much bigger then the hens. Learning all the time ! Link to comment
