I wouldn't have clue, because I've never sexed babies. So any opinions? Edited January 21, 2009 by lil_fuzzy Link to comment

The baby on the left IS a clear hen, the baby on the right looks more like a cock, but is in fact a hen.... I think your new bird is possibly the same. a cock would have a more consistent (and darker) pinky/purple cere Link to comment

Well only reason I wanted a male was because they're a bit quieter, but this new one has turned out to be very quiet anyway. Even when it hears my other budgie screaming at the neighbours budgies it won't care, it will just sit there and look around. It will occasionally scream back, but that's rare. Thanks everyone:) Link to comment

Thanks everyone:) Females are actually quieter not Males they need to sing, chatter away and flirt a lot so if this is a hen that you struck gold (maybe) because some hens are chatty too. It is too early to say if the bird is going to be quiet they are always quiet in the beginning within a month you will know. Link to comment
