When we got them we thought we were getting 2 males but I think the blue one is a female. Am I right based on cere? Thanks! P.S. This is the first post I have made so apologies if I have done something wrong, especially when adding the photo Link to comment

Can you get photos of their backs? We love budgie photos here, and back views also tell a lot more about a birds mutations, if there are any.Just going by the top of the male's head, he looks like he might be an opaline.

It sure would be nice to see the back of the mystery bird. Link to comment
