Hi! I am new here and was confused on the gender of my recessive pied, Charley. I think she is a female, but for the time I have had her, her cere has not changed to a light or dark brown (breeding conditon). I have had her since she was 9 weeks old and she is 18 months now. I just wanted to make sure her gender is correct because I have been wanting to breed her with my normal green budgie, Shamrock. (I have researched breeding for a year now and have decided to try breeding since both birds are old enough.) I love this forum and have been reading it for awhile and decided to join. Any help is appreciated!
This is Shamrock, the male I would like to breed her with.
Charley, recessive pied hopefully hen.

P.S She chews a lot on my blinds, wood perhces, shredders, toys, anything! Typical female behavior as of what I have read.
