Hello everyone,

 

Hoping I can get some experienced eyes on my two brand new budgies. I have never owned budgies before and would like to know what I have. They were sold to me as young males approx (8-11 weeks of age).

 

This is Apache, what do you think? (The photos might not be close enough, they didn't seem to like my phone very much!)

This is Chinook, boy or girl?

Thankyou in advance, any opinions would be wonderful!

Both look like cocks to me. My daughter and I love Apache because he looks like he is wearing bunny ears.

I'm pretty sure Apache is Sky blue recessive pied and Chinook is a normal Cobalt or Violet.

I would like to ask a question :) I thought all baby males have pink cere. These both have already blue. Was it change at 8-11 weeks ? My budgie is 9 weeks and still has pink cere.
